«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1184 Newer› Newest»I have very little red. I have always had a problem using much red in my quilts!
Hmm . . . . my guess is that pink and red are the most underrepresented in my stash.
commonthreads at me dot com
I have no purple! Like none. I've yet to buy anything in purple.
Now that I think of it, even though I just love browns, I don't have much of it in my stash! One of my last quilts I had such a hard time finding the right chocolate color and my LQS only had a couple to choose from.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I don't have much of a stash, but I'm definitely lacking in yellows! Thank you for the generous giveaway.
The color urple is seriously lacking in my stash!
I would say Orange. I am not a big fan of orange, but I do use a little in my fall quilts. Thanks for the great giveaway :-)
Thanks for the great giveaway Julie! I was surprised to find out that I have the least amount of reds in my stash...surprising because I use so much of the color!
My tiny stash (what fun it is to build it) is missing blue.
Thanks for this chance.
Definitely red but I don't know why. I'm trying to correct that.
I don't really have a stash, but I have a varied array of hideous yellows and supposed golds. I was trying to recreate Boilermaker colours.
I like teals and turquoise and blueish greens and don't have anything to show for it. Or even straight up green.
Yellow! I don't know why, but I have a hard time finding yellow fabrics that I like. On the other hand, I never met a red fabric (or shoes, purses, household appliances, etc, etc) that I didn't love and want to take home!
That's easy, I'm trying to pull together stuff for a Bottled Rainbows quilt and I struggling with the Yellows and oranges.
pink!
I would say that I need more purples and teals.
I definitely have a lot of blues and greens.
I always thought I was low on backgrounds and starting buying more of those and guess what! Now I have more of those than anything, but I still buy them! :-)
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
I just looked in my stash closet where my FQ's are sorted by color in 3 stackable shoe cubbys - I need YELLOWS! But I'll take those wonderful strips instead! Thanks for the chance...
I think oranges and yellows are underrepresented in my stash. I love blues and greens, so I have tons of those.
The color I am usually lacking in is pinks and yellows. The pinks because I tend to use it a lot more; and there is no real reason for the yellows.
Almost any colour! I've only recently been hooked by patchwork and I'm working hard to build up my stash! I'd love any help on offer along the way ...
I absolutely love these fabrics, wow!!! Awesome giveaway. I was just looking at my stash and wishing I had some more pinks because a friend of mine who is 34 is going through chemo again for the second time in 2 years and I thought it would be nice to make her a lap quilt with shades of pink and ivorys and whites.
Red. I would think it would be yellow, since I'm not usually a yellow person, but I love red and seem to have used all of my red fabrics without replacing them. Oh, purple is conspicuously absent, also... better go shopping for some basics!!
I don't have much of a stash yet, so your basics would be very welcome. I don't buy much pink - it's not a favourite of mine.
I need more in the magenta-violet colorway. Thanks!
Blue! I want to make a blue and white quilt and hardly have any blue. Thanks for the giveaway.
Definitely red. I love your blog.
Found out that I am low on pinks - just means I need to go shopping I guess
Pink. No question.
I love purple, but it is intimidating. I would like more purples and know how to mix them.
Look at all those beautiful colours! I think the most under represented colour in my stash is pink!
I'm trying to take control of my stash and scraps and I have noticed that red and purple are seriously deficient!!! Love your blog Julie - thanks for sharing your inspiration!
I have hardly any red fabrics. In fact, most of my warm colors are underrepresented.
I found out this weekend that I don't have very many golds/yellows in my stash. Thanks for having a giveaway! :)
reds. i guess i don't like many red prints. congrats, btw, quilt market!

I would say yellow. Just not a big yellow fan. Thanks for the chance to win.
I do believe yellow or orange are the least represented colors in my stash. I need to give them a chance sometime soon! Hope to win so I can work on that. stephanie(dot)webb10(at)gmail(dot)com
I love red, but it seems that I have very little of it.
I could definitely use more green! Thanks for the chance!
I am working on a "Bottled Rainbows" quilt ala stitchedincolor.com and I have notieced two colors that are especially lacking in my stack: Orange (really bad) and Red (bad).
I have tons of pinks and yellows, but the other warm colors are non-existent.
Thanks for the chance.
Blue, aqua, turquoise are all short in my stash. What an awesome prize this will be for someone - maybe me!
What a great bunch of fabrics...none that I have! My stash is very low in purples....
I have trouble finding the right red and orange prints.
Thanks for this lovely give away!
I am seriously lacking purple in my stash! Thanks for such a great prize.
Sweet! I think green is definitely under represented int stash. And yellow, but that's because I've just cut up all my yellows for a yellow only quilt.
I wish I had more reds. I don't have much of a stash, and I have not made anything with red yet....
I dont have much yellow or orange
I don't have much purple in my stash! I have a lot of trouble finding cute purple fabrics, actually.
I'd like lots more RED in my stash! It adds that bit of OOMPH that I am often looking for!
ianruby (at) iprimus (dot) com (dot) au
Definitely purples, followed closely by pink. (But I have enough blues and greens for several people!)
Great fabric giveaway! I seriously lack yellow in my stash. I'll have to remedy that!
I realized yesterday that I don't have enough yellow in my stash.
Thanks for the great giveaway. Mine is definitely green ... and grey!
I have two girls and a boy and I realised recently that I have tons of pink patterns and basics and no blue. I wanted the blue for something else, but I obviously did more sewing for my girls than I did for my little man..probably did more housework too!!!
Probably blue that isn't aqua. I have a hard time finding blues that I really like. From the online pics of fabric being released this summer, that might change.
I don't seem to ever collect any purple. I love purple so I don't know why that is. hmm... Great giveaway!
Purple is without question the color most lacking from my stash.
My stash seems short on greens. Maybe because there are so many shades of green I never seem to have the right one.
Yellow is my favourite and i don't have nearly enough of it! i always seen attracted to green & blue though. also red never gets picked up and i love it!
Yellow and Red.
thanks for the giveaway. but i always love reading your blog anyway!
I'm lacking blues and yellows! Poor colors need more love in my stash!!
I probably have less orange that anything else but I don't use it that often, I use green more but don't have a lot of that either.
I'm lacking in the orange department.
blueberryblues5 (at) gmail
BLUE! In a house FULL of BOYS you would think that blue would dominate, lol!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
my stash is always low on the warmer colors like reds, yellows, and oranges. however, i do have a bunch of pinks. on the flip side, my stash is over whelmed by blues and purples because i just keep buying them.
I adore purple, but only have five pieces of it. Yet, I am very picky about the proper application of yellow and I have two stacks of that . . .
I don't have anywhere near enough yellow. Or orange. Which is odd because I do love both of those colors.
Cool giveaway. Purple and orange are the "holes" in my colors of fabric.
I have very little yellow in my stash as well...and red.
Definitely need some more purple!
I have very few fabrics in red, orange and green. Must get shopping!
Purple. I love purple but I don't have very much.
Thanks for the giveaway. Beautiful fabrics!
Strangely enough... I don't have very much black or brown... those of which are my staple colors. :)
The color that is under-developed in my stash is yellows! I don't have any yellows! But plenty of blues and greens...I can tell which colors I am partial too!
Almost no yellow, and have very little solids.
yobethie (at) hotmail (dot) com
Believe it or not I don't think I have any red, and I love red! My kitchen, red... bathroom, red... hair, red. But fabric, not one bit of red.
I am in the same boat as you. I love orange and I have almost zero in the stash.
Definitely short on orange!
Yellow, for sure...maybe red. I think I tend for "safe" most of the time so I end up buying greens and blues. I do love them, but I need to branch out!
Yellow is my new favorite Color but I have practically none if it
Probably orange. It has to be the right color of orange, something bright and fun!
Neutral ivory, white, etc. I have hardly any! When I go to get a neutral background fabric I always come home with something else!! Once of these days I have to make a quilt with a white or ivory background!! Love how it looks quilted but always get distracted by color... oh look shiny! lol
While I have a good amount of blue, I "never" have the "right" blue.
I don't have much orange, so I'm trying to change that, but orange is a hard color to find. I guess it's just not my favorite color.
i have a serious need for purples...
My stash is in desperate need of yellows!
I have very little blue and I tend to use pink/red a lot. I've been wanting to try the Quilters Linen!
Well, I have no red in my stash...it's not a colour I usually enjoy in general. Green is my favourite, but it's far outnumbered by all the pink I seem to have accumulated along the way!
definitely lacking in purple and yellow, I have tons of blue
stripes. weird? I LOVE stripes. but I have mostly prints. any color. but if i have to go with an actual color it would be green.
joelisa@hotmail.com
purple is very lacking in my stash...thanks for the chance to win!
I could sure use some yellows and oranges!
Purple, and not just any purple, LIGHT purple (lavendar, lilac, etc)! For it to be my fav color I use it all up everytime I purchase any!!
Relatively new to quilting, so I need the full rainbow spectrum!
I love, love purple, but I think I have one purple fabric in my stash. I need to change that!
I have zero brown or black. I guess I tend to lean towards bright colors and prints.
This giveaway is amazing. My stash is very low in the blues, I have 2 little boys so actually blues should probably make up a large part of my stash!
Yeat another great giveaway! Thanks!
I don't have enough RED. I love red, so I tend to use it a lot in my quilts. I'd like to have some red and aqua for my next quilt. So guess I need to be off to the LQS to search for some RED.
I have very little pink but that is by choice. I really need to add all colors to my stash because I have been depleting it lately without shopping for any new fabric. This giveaway would be the perfect shot in the arm for my stash.
Wonderful giveaway! I indeed sorted my stash recently and noticed that I had very little orange, yellow and grey fabrics!
yellow do not use it much in my quilts
Orange is definitely underrepresented, as are good purples (which are impossible to find).
I love blue. My whole house is blue. I am missing greens from my stash and solids in all colors. What a great giveway!
Wow, thanks for the giveaway opportunity! What a great prize :)
I'd have to say orange. 75% of my tshirts are orange bur very few fabrics. That was actually the first color I noticed in the pictures so maybe there's change in my feature. Thanks for the chance to win!
My stash is mostly Neptune, Verna and greens, I would love to add grays to it. Thanks!
I definitely don't have enough Reds in my stash.
I don't have a very large stash at all. Right now, no whites or purples. Thanks for the chance to add to it!
jmniffer at comcast dot net
I never have enough PURPLE! Always looking for purple.
Not much in the yellow department - I prefer yellows that lean towards gold, but I don't have many.
I just ordered a full set of Kona solids last month - and am already out of blue (all of them). Apparently I need more blues in my stash, or less - then I might be forced to use something else!)
Purple, definately!
Beautiful strips of fabric goodness :)
I have next to no purple. But I love orange, so I think it's underrepresented, too. No matter how much I have. ;)
Lord, Julie; you know how to get a girl to comment. Great giveaway! The most under-representd color in my stash would be orange, too. It's a great color, just not what my eye moves towards when I fabric shop.
I don't have many neutrals or tone-on-tone. Yellow is a color I have none of!
I don't have a lot of orange... (Not my favorite color! LOL!)
stash??? what stash? i am sad to say I have a drawer in a plastic cart, ummm, lets say about the size of a filing box, of fabric. so every color is lacking in my sad, very sad looking stash.
Oooh, that's an easy one - I am seriously lacking in purples. Aviary 2 helped with that a bit, but I still have way more blues and greens and pinks than anything else in my stash :)
I just started quilting so haven't worked up a stash yet, but this would definitely help! I especially love the linens!
As a quilting newbie, I'm building my stash. Since I tend to purchase blues, adding these bright prints and solids would be wonderful. Thanks for doing this.
Mine isn't really lacking a color, it's lacking solids!!! I only have red and orange, leftover from another project!
The_yellow_submarine440@hotmail.com
i don't even have a spec of orange!
The color yellow is the most underrepresented color in my stash. It's hard to find a yellow that isn't over the top bright or buttery baby sweet.
Brown is probably my most underrepresented color. I've been more into grays and whites for my neutrals, so I haven't really bought any.
Purple is my most underrepresented non-neutral. It can be hard to find great purples.
Blue is definitely the color I have the most of. It's so easy to pair with other colors.
I know for 100% sure that I do not have enough Purple!
I love blue and it is totally under-represented. Dunno why.
I love orange but do not have enough. Thanks for the giveaway. Eve
I need some purple and black or grey. Thank your for your generosity!
It's orange for me. Four of the ladies in my 3x6 hive wanted orange in their blocks and I didn't think I was going to have enough fabrics for it.
i can never have enough yellow! it's such a great color.
My best friend and I are making matching scrap rainbow quilts together and I too am sorely lacking in orange fabrics! I also always looking to add to my grey stash... I wish there were more options out there!
Thank you for the chance to win :)
zabecc(at)hotmail(dot)com
Orange! I have so many pinks, purples, greens, blues, reds, yellows... it never even OCCURS to me to buy orange. I wonder why?
OMG... choose a color? it feels like having to choose between your children. i think of colors and fabric lines in the same way :-)
so while no other colors are listening (or have computer ability) i would say that the color lacking in my stash is yellow.
thnx for the giveaways
pam@thevintagespool.com
Yellow for me. I am trying to build it up in my stash! Thanks!
purple is definitely the underrepresented color in my stash, but I never sew with it unless it's requested in a swap and then I buy something for the project.
I did recently discover that I don't have nearly as much yellow as I thought I did.
I love most colours if they are bright and happy. When I did my hexie charm quilt I discovered I have very little yellow or purple and not that much green. It's odd about the purple because I wear a lot. I just don't seem to find nice fabrics to sew with.
I was pulling fabrics for a rainbow quilt the other day and realized I don't have nearly enough purple! I must add more purple to my stash for the future so I don't have to special order a fabric when inspiration strikes :)
Despite being a lover of purple I have hardly any in my stash, what a fab giveaway
I have to agree on orange and yellow being the colors I have the least of. Thanks!
I am missing a lot of colours since I am new to patchwork and quilting ;) But I must have more orange and blue :)
I am definitely a girl in blue and green ...!
I have always, do not lacking the solid
Green...and specifically apple green. I love green...all shades and for my 3rd boy (to be born in August) I decided for apple green to be the primary color in his room...along with orange and blue. So then of course I noticed not so much green in my stash...so to the quilt shop I went :)
Wow, great giveaway Julie!! I have to say I am lacking in enough yellows - and I really like yellow. I am overrun with blue and green is well represented even after the "green quilt"!
Hmmm, my stash is kinda short on lots of colors right now. I just finished a queen-sized color wheel string quilt. It's crazy and beautiful and I think I might lose my eyesight over this one. But I never have enough orange or yellow. I'm always drawn to greens, reds, and blues, so those poor yellows and oranges get neglected. Thanks for the chance!
My stash is super low on greens. And browns actually, but I think the latter is because I am constantly using them up :-)
I seem to be short of red. I'm always looking for it & it seems like it should be easy to find so I don't know where it is hiding!
I just noticed that I am lacking in the yellow department, I have tons of blues, reds, greens, & oranges but not a lot of yellow. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I am probably lacking most in primary colors - specifically red .... I think red is such a bold powerful color - but when I look @ my stash, I only have 1 print in red!
Thanks for the chance to win this AWESOME giveaway! =)
I don't have enough Orange, Red or True Green. I seem to always have colour amnesia when I buy fabric, and end up with massive amounts of purples, blue-greens and yellow-greens. I thought I had every colour until I tried to put together a rainbow patchwork purse for a friend. These solid strips would be PERFECT for me! I am planning on trying to make a Mod Mood quilt this year. If you get a chance, come check out my giveaway too :)
PS: love your patterns, and your blog :)
I have very little purple in my stash! Not sure why...just how it worked out I guess!! Thanks for the giveaway!
blue... which is suprising, since i should really make a quilt for the couch in the living room - which is painted blue.
I think the color I have the least of is purple ... which is sad, because I really love the color. Difficult to find in a simple, basic pattern, though!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I know this one, because I've been working on a rainbows quilt, and I seriously lack orange!
Just looking yesterday for different shades of yellow and didn't come up with just a few. Great giveaway.
I have no purple!! NONE!
It's a toss up between pink and blue. I never seem to have either of those colors when I need them!
I do not have much orange at all.
I would say my most unrepresented color would be blues....not my favorite color and can not talk myself into buying it.
stash? what stash? it is lacking in every color but i've been dreaming of the perfect grey and greens.
(i've just started this fabric thing - my stash right now is all yarn :) )
Brown! I try to keep everything bright and cheery and just this weekend realized I have very little brown...thanks for the opportunity to win!
I can't seem to navigate towards the yellow fabrics. Maybe they are too hard to match, not bright enough, etc. I love yellow because it's so cheery!
bevvreeland@yahoo.com
Purple! I have no purple and didn’t realize it until now. Thanks for the great giveaway! Erica5202 at gmail.com
Probably red--I have a lot of yellow and green and blue, but little red.
I never seem to have much purple or dark blues.
Thanks for the chance to win!
sknitch@sknitches.com
Probably blue...which is strange because I love blue!
Not a lot of grey or black or brown, but I like happier colors anyway ;)
It's hard to believe I have any colors that are underrepresented in my stash! I recently started a quilt with purples, and I would say that I have fewer purples than other colors. Grey also. Will have to add purples and greys at some point.
I love your blog! My stash is fairly well-balanced ... but I don't have very much brown/beige ... which is fine, because I prefer brighter colours. I never seem to have the "right" green either! I think there are so many greens, that you should have lots. Thank you for the giveaway!
I don't have much in orange. I used what I had for two other quilts. Thanks so much for sharing with us!
I use a lot of blues and greens, probably because I like them a lot, so those would be the colors I don't have much of in my stash.
Those strips are just lovely!
MGM
My stash is always short of any lights! Seems I am attracted to darks, and bright mediums...not good!
I'm low on neutrals. I've got lots of brights, but need to start stashing more neutrals to balance them out a bit!
arbendlin@gmail.com
Yellows & greys are definitely the most underrepresented in my stash.
I have NO purple. I always say I don't like it, but that's not really true. I do like it - just has to be the right color.
Oh my. What lovely colors!!
I'd have to say that I need more red in my life! I have a lot of blues, pinks and purples but not enough reds!
I have a major lack of purple and yellow.
Oh orange and yellow. As I love both of these colors somehow I have few of either. Thanks!
Grey. And that's strange, because I think that colour make others bright out so lovely!
Hands down, purple! When I went to make a gift for my mother in law for Mom's Day, I had to purchase some purple since that is her fav color. Bummer I know to "have" to purchase fabric, but my husband thought it was a joke due to the size of my stash! lol!
Thanks for the fun!

I don't have much in the way of warm colors in my fabric stash - so not a lot of red, pink, yellow, or orange. I have lots of blue, purple, and green!
Green is the most underrepresented color in my stash. Not sure why & I will have to rectify....
Yellow and red are very lacking in my stash!
Browns. I have hardly any brown. Every time I need brown I have to go buy it.
My husband loves red and I have almost none in my stash.
ajhtejpal@gmail.com
Blue! gougeonathome@charter.net (Allison)
Oddly, my favorite color is green, but there is not much green in my stash. I think I use it all up once I get it!
I have no purple
I don't have much purple, but it's a color I would like to start buying more because it can be so fresh!
tarapage22(at)gmail(dot)com
I have all sorts of colors, but no neutrals. Hmm...
I have very little blue in my stash. Dunno why that is, and it's not that I dislike blue, but there it is!
I think green must be my under-represented colour. I've got blues, turquoises and teals, but no real greens. Strange how you can skate around a colour and not realize it! Thanks for the chance!
I have virtually no pink or purple fabrics in my stash, despite that I have a darling little girl living in my house. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I have very little green. I use it up all the time so I always have to go get more. Thank you for the giveaway!
katemcmate at gmail dot com
Yellow is definitely the color I am lacking...
THANKS, Kathy
I'm really lacking in pink fabric!
I don't have much of a stash, but the stash I do have is mostly blues and greens, so there are lots of gaps!
I have very little black in my collection. Thanks for the giveaway.
Green -- is it because of the association with vegetables, maybe? Or because a good green is hard to find? Whatever the reason, I have very few.
Purple! I love it and there just isn't enough on my shelf. :) Lovely giveaway you're having here!
RED and it´s my favorite!!!
