    I love bright kid prints. I try to buy conservative, but I always head for the bright prints!

    I gravitate toward earthtones no matter how much I try to avoid them.

    Romantic, cottagy florals - just can't have enough of them! Also, batiks are starting to make their way into my stash.

    I buy a lot of batiks just because I love them but I do use them. I buy what I like and it doesn't matter if it is patterns or solids. If I like it I will buy it and then plan a project around the fabrics.

    I like earthtones, greys, small prints, solid blenders, and anything I can decide I want. Green is my favorite color and red is my least favorite. I love navy blue ad nlight blue and tend to leave the bright blues alone I love to shop for the scrap ends on the sale racks, yard sale finds. If it is cotton I can sew it. I just love material. I can not stand to touch the slimey slick materials. Give me a nice cotton any day.

    What a question! I always have stacks of cotton small prints....used for BG & in scrappy quilts. Love the blenders like Moda Marbles,have fav colors & non favs, so mine are usually in the jewel tones, Fall colors & as many pretty off whites as I can find.Haven't used batiks or novelties.

    I am a batik freak! They add so much movement and are beautiful.
