    purple and green, and
    black and white with brights.

    I love using green in quilts and when designing a quilt (mostly picking blocks and laying them out on paint) pink and green happen to appear in a lot of mine which to me is weird as I'm not a pink person at all.

    Anybody else have favorites??

    I love white. I think it really makes colors looks crisp and clean and bright.

    I like pink and mauve prints with black, aqua and browns, blues and white, and rusts, creams and crimsons. Also like one out of all soft pastels.

    When I go into a fabric shop or a clothing store, green seems to shout my name. I see it before anything else. I love putting green with blue, too.
    My other favorite color is orange. I'm probably the only person in the world who really, really loves orange. I like it best with blue (Go GATORS!)
