LOL, I used to feel the same way about ocra and recently I have started using it and ......I actually like it. Go figure.

I lack batiks & tone on tone fabrics. However, I don't miss them much as I find most to be muddy looking to me. I prefer solids to blends unless it is something with a slight pattern of color on white such as Net by Dear Stella(http://www.pinkcastlefabrics.com/col...ts/net-in-mint) or Timeless Treasures Hatch or Fun basics (http://www.abcsofquilting.com/shop/Q...t-x3602015.htm).
I don't have many pastels or Civil War color ways in my stash and don't plan on adding any.
As I've mentioned previously, I am a Magpie for large, bright floral or graphic prints. I have an over abundance of those, generally in FQs - they are like crack! I've cut way back on the FQ collecting and am trying to stay in the 1/2 yard range as the smallest cut to stash.

Very little black mainly because it's hard for me to see my stitching...but I do like it with white or yellow.
Very little red because I don't prewash and I'm afraid of bleeding.
Would have a lot more gray except the gray I prefer (think the men's early 1950's grey flannel suits...kind of a very pale gray) simply is never available.
Minimal orange because the color is just too intense for me.
Never ever had pink "anything" until I started quilting and now one of my favorite colors....still building stash!
So, as you can tell, my stash is heaviest in greens, whites, yellows, pinks, corals, light bright turquoise.
