I just came back to quilting after several years away and I found that my color preference and styles have changed---except for the 1930's prints--I still love those! <br /><br />Most of my stash is fat quarters--my biggest color stash is pink! the colors that are seriously lacking are yellows and oranges. I really love working with reds, aquas (another color really limited in my stash) and greys(basically nonexistent in my stash also!)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060952940613221933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-75026033960040320142012-05-30T07:30:15.003-06:002012-05-30T07:30:15.003-06:00thanks for the fun giveaway!!

I was very surprised to see almost no pink, although that is the color I identify as my favorite. I have the most blues, which doesn't surprise me at all, since blue covers such a huge range and I've made a lot of quilts for other people using their favorite color, blue. I'm adding orange to my stash now; after years of disliking it, I've been won over.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-20767822987707732402012-05-25T21:48:46.351-06:002012-05-25T21:48:46.351-06:00Oh yes I rearranged my fabrics recently and was su...Oh yes I rearranged my fabrics recently and was surprised to see how much blue, green and pink I had!

As my stash is based on old clothing, yellow, orange and purple seem to be the smallest piles, whereas as blues and greens are the largest. Browns are a bit low as well. I wonder if this says something about how we dress?<br />best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-36214437091350634742012-05-24T22:12:10.804-06:002012-05-24T22:12:10.804-06:00Orange and yellow are my least favorite.

Pink is used less often, and I have the most pink. Must rectify that as all my grandnieces love pink. We have the least of yellow and orange. We tend to buy for projects so my mother's "scraps" from 65 years of sewing and quilting is our stash. None are large enough to fold and have so neatly placed on a shelf.Marcia W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11895729581181426478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-9618781419942435052012-05-23T05:39:36.748-06:002012-05-23T05:39:36.748-06:00I have tons of everything...except orange and purp...I have tons of everything...except orange and purple, no surprise there.

Lots of white on red, red on white, black on white, white on black, one whole bin of white on white, tons of blues shading to purple, plenty of greens and quite a few pinks. Colors I have the least of are browns, yellows, & oranges but I have a few. And a LOT of collections. 2 bins of just Christmas fabric, 1 bin of Laurel Burch, 1 bin of solids, 1 bin of combined Happy Mochi Yum Yum, Pam Kitty Morning & Laurie Holt. A few bundles of Kaffe, Sweetwater and a ton of other collections. I love flowers and beautiful gardens, but comparatively speaking, have fewer floral fabrics than anything else. Oh and a lot of my blues, purples & greens are batiks-a HUGE bin of them. Then 1 bin of blenders, 1 of novelty fabrics, 1 bin of precut collections, a small bin of jelly rolls. Whew! Time for a buying moratorium I think.heartsease54https://www.blogger.com/profile/16980415295935895910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580314740488469031.post-24905914374631187702012-05-22T05:52:54.285-06:002012-05-22T05:52:54.285-06:00I've just recently moved my stash from a close...I've just recently moved my stash from a closet to open shelving. I tend to purchase for specific projects. It's no surprise that I'm lacking certain colors - yellow, orange, white white. My favorite color is blue, but I don't have that much yardage of blue. I think it's because I used it in some of my quilts. Thanks for the wonderful stash photos!
