colours: either blues/greens (not olive/sludge greens)/purples or browns/beige/reds (terracotta-ish rather than bright or purple-ish) with only small amounts of other colours
fabric specifics: I tend to prefer small patterns or tone-on-tone, but larger patterns or solids are fine as long they don't dominate the block
please! no: no neon/day-glo brights

colors: pastels are fine, no preference

Fabric specifics: patterned is great and preferred, solids are fine as long as not predominant

Scrappy and Random is fine

NO children, sports, holiday, neon, etc.

Ok, I'll do it then.

Colours (we spell it that way so don't get on my back about it:) I would like these please.

Fabric specifics. Nothing 80's inspired please YUCK.

No. Christmasy stuff or ugly stuff... I'm pretty open, just something that reminds me of my summer holidays would be nice :)

Oh, lots of white would be good and I don't mind solid white even though it is boring :)

sunnysidey 12/ 9/2009 #

colours: any brights, black/white
fabric specifics: spots, stripes, small prints, highly contrasting prints
please! no: children, sports, holiday, cartoon cats, Mary Engelbright, anything with brown or beige or sludgy colours

Cherries 12/12/2009 #

colors: bright colors, black/charcoal, white
fabric specifics: patterned fabrics are great (actually preferred) as long as they are primarily in this palette; tone-on-tone & solids are good too if not predominant in the block
yes, please: scrappy & random
please! no: neon, children, holiday, patriotic, cartoon, sports or blocks with mostly primary colors; also fine separately but absolutely no orange/blue together as I despise that combination!

Just adding, whites are fine too, though I'd prefer it to be an ivory/creamy white if with the browns.
