Life starts handing me examples of it in an effort to prove me wrong. I usually weaken and decide it's not so bad after all. Happened recently with butterflies. I'm not a butterfly person, then suddenly I kept seeing things with butterflies that I actually liked. Funny thing, life. Purple should start showing up soon. :-)Beth Karesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461449002277391095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-84212573913395749422010-01-16T11:05:16.421-05:002010-01-16T11:05:16.421-05:00I avoid mint green...same reason.

Funny, huh? <br /><br />Unfortunately, my granddaughters love pink. So I have to use it some.<br /><br />I've learned to never say never when it comes to color. I hated orange and now like it!

The university mascot colors in Madison are red and white, so I get a little sick of those Badger-red shirts every.where!

I am an art therapist & I firmly believe that everyone picks every color, especially in art expression -quilting, for a reason. <br /><br />Quilts can be very comforting, you can wrap up in them, etc. so I know that almost everyone does, whether they realize it or not! But since every color means different things to different people, the reasoning is with the artist. Interestingly enough though, people who look at it put their own (unconscious or conscious) meaning on to the quilt as well! :) <br /><br />Hope that wasn't too much clinical talk! ;) Have a great weekend! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443173497685878931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-24398241236140714352010-01-15T19:01:55.270-05:002010-01-15T19:01:55.270-05:00I've learned to never say never to a colour, o...I've learned to never say never to a colour, or a fabric.

However, I have seen some lovely blue and brown quilts lately, and last year I won a Summer in the City by Urban Chiks charm pack including a solid brown fabric to coordinate with it. I love the brown with the pinks, oranges, blues, and yellows of the fabrics. I think I have also avoided gray in the past as a cold, drab color, but have changed my mind after seeing solid gray used so effectively in so many quilts instead of white or cream. It's always nice to expand our horizons and see colors, designs, and fabrics in a new light. Never say never, I guess.wishes, true and kindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569644595415450495noreply@blogger.com
