Favorite and Least Favorite Color

Well this is an easy post! I’m combining two post prompts in one.

My Favorite Color: Yellow!!

I have always used yellow or it’s cousin, gold.   I’ve been using it a lot in my modern quilt designs.  Yellow livens up the other colors.  It adds vibrancy.  I use deep or strong yellows–no pastels for this maximalist!!  Here are a few examples!

Detail — Fractured Disappearing 9 Patch

Fibonacci #1 Small Lap Quilt [Live Class and Pattern]
Triangle Joy #1 Pattern [paper pieced pattern]
Stash Jazz [sample from my Live Online Class & Pattern]

Least Favorite Color: Brown

Brown–it rarely makes it into a quilt.   Brown is actually a deep cousin of yellow/gold.  I rarely use it and have very little in my stash.

I found a couple of samples to share here.

Detail – Fractured Disappearing 9 Patch. The print has a sort of reddish brown color in it.
Detail – Parisian Curves Improv using very old Kaffe Fasset striped fabrics that have a ‘brown’ tone.
