I don't have a color that I really don't like. I like every color and have found uses for all colors - though I am more partial to brights than dulls or pastels, they all have their uses. DH does though - he detests the color black. I have a couple of quilts with black backgrounds and he mentions that he does not like black every time he sees them!
I have fabric types that I don't much care for - like 30's repros..most of them look odd to me. But, I have seen a few quilts that I like in 30's, so I can't discount that fabric class too much.
I really like this one, but DH says its too dark for him. Had beads on the flowers.
I think this one sparkles against the dark background. Tentmaker Work - I was lucky enough to take a class from two authentic Tentmakers from Egypt. The technique is fascinating. One of the guys can stitch with his eyes closed - and he stiches FAST! Its amazing to see them work. Their thread never tangles and they use HUGE scissors - typically they only get one pair for their whole working career. (Me, I have all sorts of scissors, small ones, large ones, practically one in every project bag)
This one though, is his least favorite of all the quilts I have made. Orchid Convergence. One year at Retreat we all did this Ricky Tims technique called Convergence. I think it turned out interesting, though I probably wouldn't make a bed quilt with this technique.
Note that all of the above have GREEN!
