    Blue for me. So many things go with the color blue.

    I have loved blue for nearly all my life. But in last little while I have realized that I also love Earth colors, rich rusty browns, hunter greens and others like that. The last two tops that I have made have been browns and tans. Yummy.

    I'm not much for pastels, but I do love wild, funky pieces in bright colors. I challenge myself sometimes by buying a piece (small piece!) of something "off the wall", and forcing myself to use it...I have been pleasantly suprised, and now find that 99% of my fabric prejudice has disappeared!

    Really, anything but blue. Because my husband(being a wonderful man) loves blue I have made him two blue and yellow quilts. However, I try not to use them often. LOL

    I do a lot of pinks and purples for my DGDs. I tend to like bright colors, I don't usually like the dark quilts. I am getting ready to do one in blue and yellow and I am working on one in red, white, and blue.

    I have been making quilts for my children and grand children so I go with colors that they will like. I love the batiks and will be making one with different colored stars after I finish the two ive started.
