  1. I must go out and get that magazine. That's a cute quilt and I bet it is cute in scrappy colors too. My favorite color is red, but I don't make quilts in any color, just use what I have on hand. Congrats on your magazine quilt!

    I don't have a favorite color for quilting yet. However, I do like Black/white/Gray and yellow together. I just "liked" you on Facebook. Hope to win this Magazine so I could make your quilt also.

  15. I like brighter colors. Teal or turquoise with coral or pink are some of my favorites.
