I was limiting my neutrals to boring tone on tone cream and beiges. Since taking my first workshop from you I've added more interesting prints to my neutrals and am thrilled with how much better my quilts look. Thanks for the inspiration!MJinMichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452937164315964229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-28801071277734352592012-09-27T16:31:17.850-04:002012-09-27T16:31:17.850-04:00I think I can safely say that I have finally manag...I think I can safely say that I have finally managed to have more neutrals in my stash than any other color.

That's THE quilt I will need in Feb. when the ice and sorely-cold weather keep us in the house and my mind needs some Spring. I have just the fabric and never thought to use it that way.

I grab whatever I see in remnant bins and scrap baskets at my LQS, and I purchase a good one whenever I find it, whether I was looking for it or not.

Will be purchasing more tomorrow evening while at class. Thanks so much for validating neutral fabrics!
