mrsc1345 said...

to totally copycat you, I own almost zero orange fabrics.

Terry@ a quilting blog said...

Blue is my absolute favorite color, and yet, I have none in my stash.

Wendy said...

I have very little blue fabric for some reason-although today I did get two fat quarters, so I guess that's progress. wmslro@msn.com

Jessica said...

Purple is the most underrepresented color in my stash... sad day! I might have to remedy that soon! Thanks for putting together such a great giveaway!

vanaehsa said...

I don't have many blue fabrics... and it's one of my favorite colors!

JanetK said...

Purples are underweight for sure - I love purple but there isn't much there!

FabricDonkey said...

Glorious strips! Those look gorgeous!

I do not have a very well rounded stash, but I think yellow is definitely lacking. I'm heavy in the blue, green and red department. ;)

BrittanyGale said...

Turquoise. Definitely need to get some. It's my Favourite!

yytan said...

I do not have much of blue....Thanks for the giveaways!

kerin said...

I have lots of colors but no grey.

Ducks and Rabbits said...

Well, with my small stash, most, if not all, colours are underrepresented! However, I definitely have NO black and whites.

Holly said...

I'm like you....not much orange....except Halloween printed fabrics with orange.....I am so beginning to love the new modern fabrics!!!! Great=giveaway!

Shaheen said...

I like shades of purples but I dont have any in my stash.
Thank you for a great giveaway!

Julie said...

Well, I am fairly new to quilting and I don't have much color period just a lot of beige! So anything color other than beige!!

Anonymous said...

yellow is one color I do not have much of, but not because I do not like it.

Eva said...

I have very little of brown and pink, but the fabric most underrepresented is coral. I love coral, especially in summer and have exactly one piece of fabric in that colour.

Amy said...

I have almost no yellows! What's up with that?? :D

Les said...

I always want more red!

zees5 said...

Purple - thanks for this giveaway!

Mrs. Sew and Sew - Karen said...

Orange and grey....I have almost none of those and love them! Thanks for the giveaway!

Doina said...

Great giveaway! Please count me in! Green is underrepresented in my stash.

Åsa said...

Yellows are lacking in my stash. I love them in quilts, but I´m just not drawn to them when shopping for fabric. Thanks for all the inspiration you put out there, and for a great giveaway.

Wendy said...

I absolutely love purple, but I hardly have any purple fabric. It's not for want of trying, it's just not out there!

Kathryn said...

Red is vastly under-represented (it`s my favourite) as is purple. Better go shopping and fix that!

Unknown said...

Purple is my favourite and in all shades. I have almost none in my stash, probably I keep using it all as soon as it arrives!

amy said...

I don't have any neutrals, no browns or grays. I like fun bright colors so I never even think of the neutrals. Go figure! :)

Unknown said...

I need some yellow fabrics!

Great giveaway! Amazing prize!

Thanks for the chance

Rhonda the Rambler said...

Great giveaway. I don't seem to have much orange or green. and I am on a shopping halt (till after my son's wedding)So I hope I win tons during Giveaway Day

Melinda said...

I had to go buy some orange because I didn't have any, but I have NO yellow. Not sure why not...

sarah said...

I don't have much of a stash, so a rainbow of new colors would be so awesome!

Jennifer Blosser said...

Yellow and red are low in my stash. I don't really like red, but yellow is growing on me.

Hugs & stitches,
Jennifer

Anonymous said...

I have been dying to make a quilt from black or black and white fabrics but I don't have ANY in my stash!!

Stacey said...

All the colours of the rainbow are serious underrepresented in my collection...I'm just starting out and would love your giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

Anonymous said...

I actually don't have the space to hoard fabrics :( So the only colors I have are for my current quilt which is blue, orange and white...

Anonymous said...

I really love purple on fabrics but there just doesn't seem to be much of it around?! Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

Heaven said...

I'm new to quilting, so my stash is really low to begin with, but I have very little purple!

I have very little purple or orange in my stash. I love blue and green, so there's always plenty of those!

Im new to sewing so I dont have a stash:(

The Mama said...

I'm new to quilting and I have to confess, I haven't started a stash yet. Kinda sad, I know. But if I had to pick a color to add to my non-existant stash I would pick yellow. :)

Anonymous said...

I'd say purple and yellow are what I have least of in my stash. The purple is growing slowly, since it's my daughter's favorite, but I do struggle to find prints in that color that I like, too.

Anonymous said...

I don't have very much orange or yellow. Great giveaway, thank you!

Jennifer Mathis of Ellison Lane said...

I don't have any red and until recently no black and white. I just sorted through all my scraps and got organized so I can shop more efficiently! :) Thanks for the chance to win such lovely fabric!

karamino said...

Hello, not enough green I think)
Thank you

Hannah said...

I like the color purple in general (even to the point that I chose deep violet bridesmaids dresses!), but I almost never ever sew with purple fabrics for some reason. I'm not sure I even have more than one purple print in my stash!

Anonymous said...

I never have enough of blue fabric - probably because it's my favourite colour and I use it up as soon as I get some.

Elizabeth said...

I think purple is most underrepresented in my stash. Thanks!

Peach Rainbow said...

My stash is still being built - but I can never have enough pinks!
Thanks for the chance :D

jillian said...

yellow. definitely yellow.

Gene Black said...

Brown and Pink are the two colors that I see virtually none of. I have some small pieces, but not a lot of either.

Blue exists in abundance in my stash.

Shannon said...

I don't seem to have a lot of reds or yellows (or at least not the reds and yellows I want!).
Just in case, my contact is HelloMyNameIsQuilt@gmail.com

hueisei said...

Thanks for the generous giveaway!
Lovely fabrics... I hope I am the lucky one..
Well, I can't see much purple in my collection :(

Anonymous said...

I love red and green but I just have small amounts of fabric in this colors because I always use them first. Sasa (dietimi (at) gmx (dot) de)

Anonymous said...

Mine is yellow. There is not much yellow fabric available here.

Amy Friend said...

Orange and purple are the two colors that I have the least of at the moment! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

Jennifer Lowe said...

Just as in your example, I don't seem to have much orange. I don't know why. It makes me happy, so I should probably have more!

mellowpuff said...

Oh my, what a rainbow of fabric happiness! I'm new to sewing, and so far my stash consists of old clothes to be upcycled. Thanks for the chance and the lovely giveaway.

Brynn said...

Orange is way underrepresented for me too. I think I might have three or four orange fabrics. Good thing it's not one of my favorite colors!

Anonymous said...

I think yellow is what I have the least amount of...

Anonymous said...

Being new to quilting, I have little stash at all to speak of. The 2 projects i'm working on mean I have some amount in the grey/orange/earth tones, but beyond that, I can use some help in nearly all other areas.

Suzanne said...

I'd say yellow and orange even though I love bright colours! Maybe that's why...I've used them all up :)

Stacy said...

Love all of these fabrics! I would say yellow is underrepresented in my stash! Thanks so much! :-)

Sadie said...

I am very new to patchwork and quilting, so almost every colour is under represented in my stash! But the one I would say I have the least of is blue. Thanks for the chance to win :-)

Lee said...

I would say green. I dont know why as I love green! thanks!

Anonymous said...

I have a hard time finding good greens!

Lissa said...

I just ran and looked and I hardly have any yellow, I did find that i have a ton of green which also happens to be my favorite color. Thanks for the giveaway!

Rachel said...

Pink! I like pink. Yet I don't decorate with it. So it doesn't get included in my stash. Also I think I sew for more boys than girls.

Perhaps I need a pink quilt just for myself.

mamafox said...

Orange is my favorite color too, and I have very little of that in my stash. Blue is another. I have two little girls and seem to horde lots of pink, purple and red. I need some cooler colors in my stash!

April Mae said...

It seems that in my stash I have a huge need for browns. As pretty as they are I never seem to want to pick them up.

Marjorie's Busy Corner said...

Hi Julie...I would have to say that purple would be the one understashed for me....

Bree said...

Purple and orange are definitely two colors I do not have! Do I have enough pink? Oh yes, I have two little girls.

In desperate need of yellow!!! Oh...and orange too!

Thanks!

connie said...

Yellow is a color I have recently grown fond of and I don't have much in my stash!!!

What a great giveaway, I love the fabrics!!

Rachel said...

I have very little purple in my stash, which is fine since I sew for mostly boys, but not so great when I want to sew for myself!!

Cheers!

Orange is definately lacking in my stash and not much yellow either.

Wendy said...

I checked before posting here and I have very little red......only two fq's! I guess I need to start buying some if I am ever going to make a red and white quilt......thanks for the giveaway.....

Emilie said...

I hardly have any purple, which is strange since it's my favorite color!!
Thanks for the giveaway! What a great bunch of fabric!

Laura said...

I don't have near enough green!

Jennyroo said...

Gorgeous! For some reason my stash is lacking in greens... not sure why! Thanks for the giveaway! Would love to be the lucky winner!

I think I only have like 1 or 2 oranges. But the ones i have I love.

Definitely not enough yellows and reds and pinks, can you really ever get enough?

Julie Kaye from KS said...

You mentioned orange in your post and that IS the color that I have the least of. I find that my color preferences change almost as often as the weather. And this month my preferences are leaning toward orange and green. Thanks for the opportunity and thanks for writing such a great blog.

Very Verdant said...

Hm, I would have to say blue. I am not sure why. I guess I just used it all and need to restock. Shameful, I know!

Lisa Chin said...

How did you know! I love orange and I don't have much orange in my stash!

Kelly O. said...

presently I'm missing a lot of every colour as my stash is pretty weak but orange is by far the one I have the least of....

Melissa said...

I adore purple, it's my favorite color, yet I have almost no purple in my stash. I think I have maybe 6 pieces total. I'm having such a hard time finding ones I like.

rockgranny said...

I do not have much purple in my little stash.

Unknown said...

Somehow, I seem to be short of red. I have TONS of orange and yellow, which is funny because they aren't my favorites. Nice giveaway! katiefewell(at)gmail(dot)com

Keep Stitchin' said...

Definitely green currently dominates my stash. I am low on yellow, red and purple.

Marci Warren-Elmer said...

I need more yellow. It seems like I can never find the "perfect" yellow in my stash.

Deb said...

Brown is underrepresented in my stash - followed by purple.

Robyn said...

I inherted my stash from my grandma. She had box after box of reds and blues. I could use more yellow (my favorite color).

JaideyBug said...

definitely red. Since reds are hard for me to coordinate I tend to stay away from them when quilting!
thanks for this WONDERFUL giveaway!

Heather @ Raising Memories Blog said...

pink & purple- in a home of mostly little girls, you can never have enough! ;)

missbossypants said...

Wow, those fabric strips would make a great stacked coins quilt (or two!) I don't have much orange in my stash, although I'm really liking it lately!

Dee said...

Orange is my least fav fabric, so this is the one I would be short on. Your fabrics are so beautiful!

Cricket said...

The other day I was trying to find some red to trim a neckline. All I needed was an 8x8 piece or so to make a tiny bit of bias tape. Do you think I had even one decent red? I had a couple that were the wrong sort of print, but basically no red to speak of. I finally found some plain red in the scrap bin, but it took me half an hour to find it.

littlemissmk said...

wow, what a great giveaway!!! i'm lacking green.

flame821 said...

Purple. My sister wants a purple quilt so badly but I never have enough or just the right shades to make a BIG quilt for her.

Its my fault, I keep gravitating to earth tones and batiks. I need to force myself to start collecting brighter colors.

Stacy Kraus McDonald said...

Of the colors I like, the most underrepresented is probably red. I need more red.

Stephanie Granite said...

wow over 900 comments! Thanks for participating in the giveaway

Lori said...

What a generous giveaway! Thanks for the chance! As a matter of fact, I am short on orange. and Pink!

T. Rehder said...

I barely have any yellow in my stash! I also have not branched out and collected many solids...

Ruth said...

Purple is underrepresented in my stash! But with the some of the new fabric lines I've seen I hope to remedy that!

Erin said...

I am almost brand new to sewing, so I don't have a stash. This would be a great way to start it!

WandaFish said...

My stash is a bunch of fabrics that never seem to go with each other and is hidden away! At the latest sneaky peek it seems to be sadly lacking in yellows and pinks. I actually love bright pinks but seem to shy away from them incase I'm too girly!!
Thanks for the chance to win some amazing additions to any stash!

Annie said...

I definitely need more yellows in my stash. It's one of my favorite colors, but I just don't have a lot of yellow fabric! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Kathy said...

I don't really have much purple, but that's okay with me. I never seem to have enough blenders or backgrounds.

Anonymous said...

Any bright colours and solids. I always seem to buy faded and vintage-y feeling prints.

redzshadow said...

This is a very cool giveaway! I think my stash could use some green. I have also realized that I keep getting patterns but not many solids.

Andreina said...

my stash is new and sad looking...but in need of some yellow!

Jen said...

I have two girls so I tend to buy a lot of pink, purple and yellow. That means that blue is certainly underrepresented in my stash!

cpup40 said...

My stash is very light on the color blue and that is my husbands and my favorite color.

Dawn W said...

I don't stash purple. Every other color shows up, but I'm just not a purple kind of gal.

Chris {frecklemama} said...

I am woefully missing good yellows. I don't know why. I never seem to find ones I like.

This roll of color is to die for!

Thanks for your contributions to the quilting community. We all love you!

Anne said...

I lack orange.

Anonymous said...

I think my stash has the least amount of yellow and blue. Blue is something I don't use a lot of maybe that is why my stash is low.

Keri said...

Yellow is underrepresented!

Esch House Quilts said...

I don't have very much purple in my stash. I have LOTS of green.

Lynn said...

what!? where's my yellow?

Melissa Ann said...

I sadly don't have much of a stash... but I would have to say of the little I have Purples are totally missing.

Valerie said...

Oh, the things I could make with those strips!

Natalie J said...

I'd say that pink is most underrepresented but that's because I'm not a big fan. Of my favorite colors, I think I need more green and orange. :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

Anonymous said...

Ooo, I definitely need some red, orange and yellow to complete my rainbow.

Suzanne said...

Pink is under represented in my stash! I have been quilting for baby boys for the last couple years and now that I have a daughter I need to purchase pink fabric to make her quilts and clothes! :)

Domestic Diva said...

Lovely! Thanks for the chance.

Purple is my most under represented.

I have hardly any orange. I follow you! Thanks for the chance and great giveaway!

redcedar said...

I don't have nearly enough blue even though it is by far my favourite colour for accessories.

Christine said...

The color I have the least of is gray. Although my DH would argue that I have PLENTY of all colors in my stash! Thanks for this excellent giveaway!

Jocelyn said...

Im going to have to say pink and purple. I have 3 boys and I am not uber girlie so not a lot of it makes its way into our house. I find myself sticking with blues way too often.

Meagan said...

I don't have much yellow and gray and I am really digging those colors lately.

Beverly said...

Green is the most understated in my stash. Not my favorite color but I do love some of the green.

AMessWorthMaking said...

I pretty much only have blue, purple and green, so every other color is unrepresented!

Lindsay said...

Pink! Since I am the only girl-outnumbered by the toddler and my husband, I feel obliged to buy "boy" colors, even though I personally love pink...a lot!

Amorette said...

yellow and orange are very under-represented in my stash, and i love to make orange things for my son!

thanks!

I am just building my stash. I'd say blues & yellows are under represented at the moment! Fun!

Alisa said...

Yellow is the colour missing in my fabric stash. I do really like it though.

Micmacker said...

I started a blue and grey quilt for my nephew, and dark blue was in short supply on my shelves, except for some Modern Meadow. A few fat quarters fixed me up, though.

Rebecca said...

I don't have a lot of pink- but I love pink! So I don't know what is going on here. :)

julia said...

i have many gaps in the colorwheel, but what i discovered just recently that i lack green & yellow most.

robin chapa said...

I have almost no "lights"-- nothing that would be good for a scrappy background..... they are boring to collect, and are the reason that my sashings, etc., are almost always some solid..... hmph. But thanks for the giveaway! What a pretty bunch of fabric!

Christina said...

I have almost NO yellow.

Serena said...

Definitely red. I don't gravitate toward it, and it's definitely lacking in the overall scheme of things. ;) Thank you for the giveaway!

TheTrueFrancine said...

My stash is so "stashed" that I have no real idea what colors I'm in need of. I'm guessing blues/purples.

Jessica said...

I would say orange is not in my stash anywhere. I need some rainbow colors!

I don't seem to have a lot of blue in any hue. I'm loving orange right now. 4mrsgaskell@gmail.com

i don't have enough orange, yellow or grays! yikes! this needs to change. :) thanks for the chance to win!

Tiffany said...

I have very little green, but what I would really like to build up is my purple and my orange stash because those are lacking as well! :)

Suzy Roberts4 said...

I have virtually no green! And I LOVE green - not sure how that happened!

CJ said...

What an interesting question...I have such a tiny stash that all colors are underrepresented, but I am especially low on blue. Of course that is my favorite color, so it goes quickly when I have it.

Donna said...

Brown, brown is my most underrepresented color. I tend to purchase bright happy colors.

Mary said...

Besides a Bliss charm pack I am still hoarding, I have very little aqua in my stash.

drmithome said...

I would say blue. I tend to not it

Rebecca said...

I realized I don't have enough solids ~ especially greens and blues.

Taleah said...

I JUST started sewing... so no stash yet. How sad is that?

laura said...

I am missing red in my stash, probably because I use so much of it & Christmas is coming! Thanks1

Saraccino said...

I always run out of shades of blue 8going to grey or violett sometimes.. or turqoise...

Although I buy a lot of them... they always are missing when i need them ^^

Maevy said...

When I think of it, I don't have much green in my stash, and that is weird because it actually is my favorite color.

bethany said...

The color that I don't have a lot of in my stash is yellow...I like it I just don't buy a whole lot of it!?!?

j.g.prescott said...

Yellow! Why oh why? Love sunflowers. But never have enough yellow to make them. Oh well, off to the store to buy more.

Make Me Over said...

brown and black, I think... does black count as a colour?

Jenny said...

i find that black is nearly non existent in my stash...always a reason to buy more fabric, huh?

Montseta - Montsecosecose said...

The colour I miss most on my stash is black and red. Great giveaway! montse.perez.bo (at) terra.es

Yellow. I don't have a lot it. After all this rain, I could use some bright sunshine.

Dulce said...

I dont have anyyyyyy dark colors, which is odd since I wear dark colors everyday. I will definitely start incorporating some now that I have noticed though :D

Lorna said...

I would have to say that green is lacking most in my stash because I am not really a big green fan, but try to make myself use for others you like it.

lestra said...

I need some red and I have too much pink. Never can have enough of it though. Great fabrics by the way.

Michelle D. said...

Good question...lol I would have to say orange would be the color that is not really in my stash. I just never think to buy any orange.

Colleen said...

I have been collecting fabric for over 25 years. I think that I could use more black. It goes with almost everything

Sherilito said...

Welll, I don't have much of pinks, purples or oranges, although I really like these colors alot.
