    My favorite basic color in quilting, my go to color, is off white. I also go to small polka dots for backgrounds. They add color without detail. Thanks for the giveaway. I love your fabrics.

    I guess my favorite basic color for quilts would be yellow although I pretty much use what goes best with the other fabric choices.

    I love blue, so usually have some variation of that in my quilts. I also prefer tans and creams for backgrounds rather that white. Unless it's a blue and white quilt--lol!

  12. marthaFebruary 2, 2015 at 10:39 AM

    for background it would be #7755-04 and just because i always tend to put a red in my quilts #7755-88. Thanks for chance to win!

  26. teachpanyFebruary 2, 2015 at 6:00 PM

    I love purples, but the basic or blender color depends on others in the quilt. I do use lots of whites and creams. The yellow on the pile looks really sweet, too. As for snow, I got over a foot between last night and today, and expect another 3 or 4" by Thursday, and another storm Sunday. That's what I get for living in the Poconos!

    Suppose to get some snow this week on Thursday, though they didn't give any total amounts, because it is suppose to be too warm. So where I live we probably really won't get any snow this week. I told you this on twitter. @lfhpueblo

    Almost every quilt I make has had some pink in it - so I suppose for me pink is one of the basics I always look to incorporate into a quilt.

    I usually start first by choosing a fabric for the background of my quilt and it's usually a neutral - white, off-white, grey.

    I'm not sure why, but many of my solids or tone on tone fabrics are lime green. I make a lot of personalized bibs and that color just goes so well for both boys and girls and coordinates with many other colors.

    My favorite basic color right now is grays. I love gray/grey. Thanks for the eye candies. The colors are just right for this white time of the year!!!! No snow for us- only flurries but thoughts going out to those affected by the blizzard! Stay safe and warm.
