Do You Have Favorite Color Schemes?

Do you find yourself tending to choose the same colors when you create something for yourself in patchwork? All of us have favorite colors we like to wear and may find ourselves selecting for decorating our homes and for our projects, including patchwork and quilting.

My colors tend toward variations of blue, red, black, white and pink. If I’m left to my choosing, I find the fabrics in my stash in those hues and my projects taking on aspects of them. Even though other colors blend well artistically, I automatically find more pleasure in combinations utilizing many of my favorite colors.

Then when I look at my wardrobe, I find those colors predominating. Then I often use scarves to give touches of other colors.

Do your personal favorite colors dominate your quilting?
