My colour has to be yellow i hardly every find any yellows that i like because i think they look dirty but the best part is they really do look good when combined with other colours! lol

I must have a thousand different prints in my stash (used to work for a fabric store) but I never seem to have the right one when I need it, be it any color choice, favorite or otherwise. LOL

I usually avoid the beiges and olive greens but when working on my hoffman challenge piece this season (which was all of those colors!), I decided that I really kind of liked them. I don't plan to buy them in stacks but at least I am not as averse to them as before the piece.

I don't really have any colors that I avoid…which seems to have come with problems of its own! (laughing) What I try to do at this point is to buy only what I know I will use for projects I have in mind already. Of course there are fabrics a person just can't resist…even without any use in mind for it!

My "other" colors are always earth tones… I love them, will use them one day, but for now, i tend to pass them by. Great post, thanks!

I Like the top fabric. I have tried to look at colors that I don't necessary gravitate towards. Sometimes it comes in handy to have the variety in your stash.
