  2. I have very little pink...just not a pink girl I guess... I really need to amp up the solids too...

    ReplyDelete
  3. I do not have much yellow in my little stash.

    ReplyDelete
  4. close to no pink..also very very little yellows.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Orange. I'm always short on Orange. Have a sea of blue but never any Orange! Thanks for the beautiful giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Im lacking reds ... not a big fan but love them mixed with other colors like aqua or black/white.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I have many colors but very few neutrals.

    ReplyDelete
  8. If by underrepresented, you mean the color I hoard the least, it would be yellow! Those linens look interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I've only recently come to appreciate how much of a lift in my quilts the colour yellow can give, in all its forms - lemon, deep gold, buttercream etc - yet I have very little.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I have very little red in my stash. Also lacking in purple. Nice giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I could use some reds. They seem to be gone as soon as I get them!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yellow - It is hard to find bright yellows :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. I don't have much yellow, although it is a color that can make a quilt "pop"! My favorite colors are red and purple, and I have quite a bit of those two colors!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have hardly any reds - and what I do have are all the same!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I have few greens than any other. Thanks for doing the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Golds-browns-beiges. Even though the colors are such basics and good blenders, and favorites. Maybe that's why there are so few of them in my stash. I use them up right away.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I have hardly any pastels - most of my prints are bold.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I have very few reds. I love to see it in other people's quilts but I don't like to work with it. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I would have to say that blacks and whites are underrepresented..I never seem to have any!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have one little piece of yellow. That would be the color that I do not have much of.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yellow .. always seem to be drawn to the blues and greens. Yellow definitely missing from my stash :)
    Have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I could really use more blue -- of all shades!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm really lacking in the blue department. Started looking for baby boy fabrics in my stash and there really was very little blue to be found!

    ReplyDelete
  24. My most "understashed" color is green ... I love reds, blues, neutrals and blacks - and my stash shows it! I'd love to incorporate more greens! Thanks for the opportunity for the giveaway!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yellow in under represented.
    Brown too for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Almost no purple, which is sad because right now plum is one of my favorites. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Greens...not a green gal. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Purple -- I like purple but have a hard time finding fabric in shades of purple I like.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't have much orange, yellow and grey. Not really my favorite colors, but they are needed in quilts and projects.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Browns...they are my favorite so they go quickly!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am missing greens and yellows, boo!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I have very little brown, I needed some for a project and found that I didn't have much of a choice.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Not sure about underrepresented, but blues and greens are OVER represented. I probably need just about everything else.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yellow...definitely yellow!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Blue... My fav colour is not really in my stash as I create more for others than myself..

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  39. I lacked neutrals n had too much pink :p

    mamaisaac09(at)gmail(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  41. I need more green, which is odd, because it's one of my favorite colors!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Mine is definitely blue. Not much to be seen in the stacks.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Green! I don't know why because there are so many pretty green fabrics

    ReplyDelete
  44. Love your blog!! The color that is underrepresented in my stash is orange as well. I love orange but don't have much of it.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love greens and blues but don't have either in my stash.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  51. I discovered recently (really) that I don't have much yellow in my stash and it's my little girl's favorite color. Stunning.

    ReplyDelete
  52. orange, purple and yellow are missing in my stash

    ReplyDelete
  53. PINK! it is something that i am NEVER drawn too... which makes my wee girl sad. i have just never been a pink girl.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I definitely need more greens. And more reds. And more fabric in general!

    ReplyDelete
  55. White because I use it up quickly. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I am generally lacking is solids, but I would really like to get some shades of grey into my quilts, I love how it makes other colors more electric. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Love this :-)
    Golds, browns and beiges + autumn is my colours.
    Wich you a great day.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thanks for the chance! I have to say that yellow is my most underrepresented color! I do not think I have any yellow at all!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Seem not to have enough yellow

    ReplyDelete
  60. Right now orange is in short supply here, too- But only because I recently finished an orange and green scrappy quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Orange! I definitely don't have much orange.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I don't have much of a fabric stash....yet :) but I noticed there isn't even a smidge of purple.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hello! I don't have many blue fabrics my stash! I love your blog too!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm short on purple. Thanks for a chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I do not have much yellow!!
    thanks for the giveaway :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. I dont keep many solids so I'd say solids (all colors except white) are way underrepresented in my stash! I'd love to win!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I would say that orange is very unrepresented in my stash as well. I decided to do an orange and green quilt and virtually had no orange.

    ReplyDelete
  68. my stash is still tiny, but I realize I don't have many neutrals.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I don't have much in the way of purple or the fushias. I s'pose I should remedy that. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I do not have many purples which is odd considering my favorite color is purple!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I just organized all of my fabric by color last week and PURPLE is very lonely! Thanks for a very yummy giveaway :)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I think that red is sorely under represened in my stash! Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Running low on the yellows!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I like yellow but notice I don't have much yellow in my stash!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I have no solids in my stash, at all! They are all prints.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Mellow Yellow! I need to stock up as it is my daughters favorite color. What two year old does not like yellow?

    ReplyDelete
  77. i dont even really have a stash ... i have very little fabric

    ReplyDelete
  78. im really not sure. I don't have alot of reds. I am always out of brown but that's because i always use it.

    ReplyDelete
  79. RED.
    I actually went shopping for fabric and limited myself to Red fabric only.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I think that red is always the color that I don't have enough of in my stash. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  81. hi, I have very little yellow fabrics!

    Thanks for the chance :)

    ReplyDelete
  82. Purple is seriously lacking in my world. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  83. For some reason I don't have a lot of Red fabrics.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Red. For the love of pete, I always buy it, I swear, and it disappears almost instantly. I cannot keep reds on my shelves!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. What a lovely rainbow - I'd gladly take them off your hands ;)
    The colour that's most under-represented in my stash is definately purple, in fact I have hardly any at all.

    ReplyDelete
  86. HAHA...your example could've been written by me! ORANGE! I like the color but don't use it much!
    Laurie G
    soccerljg4@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  87. Even though shades of green are my favorite, there aren't many in my stash.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I think the color that is most under-represented in my stash is yellow. I'm working on collecting scraps to make a color wheel quilt and I need more yellow.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Ornage! Your example could have been straight out of my mouth - it's my favorite color but I have hardly any of it. Trying to change that though...

    ReplyDelete
  90. I would have to say that yellow is the most under represented color in my stash. It is such a happy color, too.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Purple is the least represented in my stash - I just never seem to go for it. I'm inspired by all the rainbow type quilts out there these days, so this will have to change! Thanks for the giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  92. I pretty much have no solids...but I would say that red is the most underrepresented in my stash

    Josie79@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  93. Ha! I have next to no blue in my stash (I have aqua and turquoise but no primary blues ) I have synaesthesia and primary blues scream at me! I'd love some of yours though >:)

    ReplyDelete
  94. I started a quilt this weekend and realized that I had absolutely no grey in my stash! We doesn't have grey? Me, that's who!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Honestly, I couldn't tell you specifically one color I know is short in my stash, but if I had to guess, I'd probably say pink. I'm not a huge fan, so I know I don't have much of it.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I was recently putting some fqs in a rainbow bundle and I realized how few yellows prints I have. Also, orange, but I think they are both strong colors and a little can go a long way!

    ReplyDelete
  97. love reds...but have none!
    kvanella@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  98. Well, I'm a noob, so I don't have a ton of any color, but I don't think I have a single piece of purple. What! This must be remedied.... Thanks for the opportunity. :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. i'd love a chance to win! i don't have enough yellows in my fabric stash :) gooberific@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  100. I only have a teeny tiny stash so I don't have much of any color, but I realized when trying to get organized last week that I have no orange or yellow. Not a single piece of either color. I guess I've never used either color in a project.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I think yellow is the most under-represented in my stash, though I love to use it with cool colors.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I have zero orange and actually, almost no yellow. :)

    ReplyDelete
  103. I would have to say orange is not represented in my stash. I love orange too.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Purple! And I love purple. Not sure why I don't have more!

    ReplyDelete
  105. Oranges, yellows, & greys are definitely underrepresented in my stash!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I have colors of every shade of the rainbow, but...where are my whites?

    ReplyDelete
  107. I could fib and say turquoise a I could never have enough, but in reality, 'neutrals'.

    ReplyDelete
  108. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Purple! I think I only have one piece of purple! I definitely need to keep my eye open for purple.

    ReplyDelete
  110. grey, this girl doesn't have enough grey, I don't care that I have nearly no pink, but I love grey!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Brown is the most underrepresented colour in my stash, I've always had a hard time finding good browns. Thanks for the giveaway =)

    ReplyDelete
  112. Yellow. I'm making an all yellow log cabin and there is nothing left in my stash!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I don't have much orange- definitely under represented! Thanks for the chance to win! :)

    ReplyDelete
  114. I'm working on getting more light neutrals and solids into my stash. I have a bad habbit of picking up fat quarters and remnants on sale - and they all need something to set them off!

    ReplyDelete
  115. Well, I used up most of my oranges, but I'm almost always consistently short on yellow and green--even though I like both colors!

    ReplyDelete
  116. I'm lacking yellow. But yellow is really hard to pair with since the shades really differ. I love all th solids!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Um, ALL of them! I don't really have much of a stash.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I don't have a huge stash, but I have virtually NO pink. Which is weird, because I don't mind pink at all!

    ReplyDelete
  119. My missing fabric is purple. This year my challenge is to create at least one purple baby quilt. nanasew at gmail dot com

    ReplyDelete
  120. I don't have hardly any white in my stash! This could be due to the fact that I usually make quilts for my children :)

    ReplyDelete
  121. Brown - I'm not a brown gal! I use it sparingly when needed and if I can obtain the same look with another color I go with the other color. Happy quilting!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Oddly enough, it's "warm" colors that are very underrepresented in my stash. I have tons of blues, greens, purples, and grays, but very little of reds, oranges, and yellows!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I don't have any aqua - I know that's crazy with all the red/aqua fabric out there. Kathie L in Allentown

    ReplyDelete
  124. Thanks for a great giveaway! Purple is vastly underrepresented in my stash.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I just moved, so therefore I've been thru my fabrics and I must say purple is lacking the most. Not my color, but seems to be the color of this season :) Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  126. Yellow...I have almost no yellow fabrics at all.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Count me in - I want to make a solids quilt - would love to win.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Brown seems to be lacking in my stash

    ReplyDelete
  129. I need more orange and can never have enough reds.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I just moved and sorted through my stash. I'm lacking all kinds of solids, mostly white and cream. Thank you for this give-away.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Yellow in all its wonderous shades.

    ReplyDelete
  132. The color that I am forever searching for and seems the most under-represented in the fabric world is GREY! I also have a hard time finding good basic reds.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I'd have to say that orange and yellow are the colors I have the least of. The orange is no surprise to me since it's my least favorite color, but I was surprised I had such little yellow when I sorted my fabrics a while ago.

    ReplyDelete
  134. I find purple just isn't "in" right now. It's terribly hard to find! I'm trying to acquire some more. :)

    ReplyDelete
  135. Browns. They are entirely underrepresented! Probably because they're not my favorites. I always have to go shopping to get those for my projects.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Right now it is red. I just used all the red I had in a massive quilt. I had to buy more, and used all that too!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Green but I have been working on it!

    ReplyDelete
  138. I have very little purple. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  139. As a new quilter, I am just beginning to develop a stash! Red is probably the color I lack the most- and I don't have many solids at all, as usually I order coordinating solids when I get ready to start a project!

    ReplyDelete
  140. I don't have a huge stash but t try to have a variety but I would say black and probably gray are very un represented.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I don't have as many purples as I think I should have. Thanks for the opportunity to win.=)

    ReplyDelete
  142. I don't have much yellow - not something I use alot, so not much gets 'stashed!' Great giveaway btw!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Red. I think it's my least favorite color.

    ReplyDelete
  144. All of them LOL I have a mostly pink stash.

    ReplyDelete
  145. pretty much every color since I don't have much of a stash to speak of at all.

    ReplyDelete
  146. What a generous giveaway, those solids are so beautifully arranged!

    Having had a good look through my stash, it would appear I am deficient in the cooler side of the colour spectrum. I seem to have "sets" of every other colour but blues, greens and purples. This is funny to me because when it comes to my knitting, I tend to lean toward cooler colours.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Lovely, would be wonderful to win these.

    ReplyDelete
  148. I'm just starting my stash, so it is easier to say what I have the most, which is green and pink (my favorites!). So most everything else isn't represented. Of my other favorite colors, I guess blue and turquoise is what I need to work on next.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I don't have much of a 'stash' per se, as I usually buy for a specific project. But I don't have much yellow. Love your solids!

    ReplyDelete
  150. I don't have enough lime green. It is such a good accent color, wish I had more!

    ReplyDelete
  151. Yellow, it's hard to find a good one! Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  152. purple !~ I love it but do not have much !!

    ReplyDelete
  153. Every color is pretty well represented. Which means I probably have too much fabric. But I would love to win these strips anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I seem to be very lacking in yellows...

    ReplyDelete
  155. My fabric stash is made up of remnants and scraps left over from projects past. I have no oranges or gray which I really love lately.

    What a sweet giveaway! Thank you. =]

    ReplyDelete
  156. Grey - but only because I can't seem to find enough different shades of grey out there...otherwise rest assured I'd have bought them by now!

    ReplyDelete
  157. I swear I’m not parroting you, orange really is quite absent from my stash, even though I love it.

    My current stash is very heavily green and blue, with a little purple, yellow and red thrown in. But, it’s a small stash, so I’ll fix that eventually.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Green is the most underrepressented! It's my favorite which makes sense that I have so little because I hardly ever make anything for myself!

    ReplyDelete
  159. I think brown is probably the most underrepresented color currently. And I love chocolate brown right now, go figure. Thank you for this great give-away. Take care and God bless, Cory

    ReplyDelete
  160. Yellow seems to be a color I barely stash. Too bad, since it is so sunny!

    ReplyDelete
  161. Yellow and red...I have lots of greens, blues and grays, even oranges but not much red or yellow.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Well my stash is short in solids so that would help a great deal But I think my stash is lacking Grey the most.

    ReplyDelete
  163. purple, it is my least favorite color but at one time it was my favorite! -thanks for the giveaway - I'm new to quilting so this would be a fun win!

    ReplyDelete
  164. I have no white or black or gray... i would LOVE these strips!

    ReplyDelete
  165. I recently did sort and organize my stash and I realized that I don't have much if any grey fabric. Its becoming one of my favorite neutrals so I think I need some more of it.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Oooh, I love quilters linen! Easy answer - purple! I have very little purple fabric so usually use a Kona if I need it for a bee block. Thanks for the chance!~

    ReplyDelete
  167. Taupe...Actually, all shades of it. It is really not easy to find taupey fabrics.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I have lots of blue, so all other colours will be a welcome :)

    ReplyDelete
  169. Looking at my stash right now I see NO orange...such a shame.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I am in the process of cutting a lot of my stash into 5 x 5 squares and the red pile is pitifully small!

    ReplyDelete
  171. My stash doesn't have much green in it.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Yellow is probably the most unrepresented color in my stash.

    needlegrrl at gnail

    Thanks for participating in the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  173. I sorted my stash not so long ago for the 3x6 bee and discovered I had next to no yellow fabric (only 3 prints!). I've been trying to add more, but I've not been very successful, LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  174. missing yellows in my stash, which is silly because yellow is my fav. color!

    ReplyDelete
  175. Purple for sure! I just don't seem to be drawn to that color for some reason!

    ReplyDelete
  176. I am a new quilter so I don't have much stash but blue is not in it at all. Not sure why as I love blue. Thanks for the give away!

    ReplyDelete
  177. Pink is my missing colour. Don't hate it just don't seem to buy it. hhhmmmm??

    ReplyDelete
  178. Purple and Yellow are so absolutely under-represented in my stash.

    Thanks for participating in Giveaway Day!

    ReplyDelete
  179. Thanks, Julie! I would say that yellow and purple need some attention in my stash, and also it is hard to find the "perfect greens".

    ReplyDelete
  180. I love blue so have tons of that but every once in awhile I need pink and never have any:(

    ReplyDelete
  181. I do have very few oranges. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  182. I have a definite shortage of orange as that is my least favorite color to use - it's like someone running their nails across a blackboard - shudder!

    ReplyDelete
  183. Looking through my stash, I'd say yellow is the color have the least of - need to remedy that! That and solids - I buy solids per project and never seem to have any around!

    ReplyDelete
  184. Oddly enough, grey. I think it goes with everything and really makes other colours pop. So i'm permanently running out!

    ReplyDelete
  185. Red. I love red right now (some weeks it's purple or orange). I definitely need a savings account just for fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  186. Yellow seems to be the color that's missing the most and yet it's such a great color in quilts!
    Thanks for a great giveaway:)
    jodym7atyahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  187. I'm low on both orange and yellow - two colors I don't seem to use very much and therefore don't buy very often. Although I think there are some gorgeous shades of both.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Grey...I've been want to make a yellow and grey quilt and need to add more shades of greys in.

    ReplyDelete
  189. would love some strips thanks :)
    I think red is my least stashed colour. So weird as it's one of my favourite colours to wear!

    ReplyDelete
  190. Probably brown! And 68, really??? Superb!

    ReplyDelete
  191. Since I'm a rookie in this hobby yet, I would welcome all of the colors. Anyways my favorite color is purple and its shades.

    ReplyDelete
  192. Well, I've noticed a huge lacking in my purple section. Also browns are another color I do not have many of. What a fun giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  193. As the mother of two boys, aged 9 and 11, I cannot believe I'm going to admit this....my stash is light on the color blue. In fact, the amount of blue and pink are just about even.

    ReplyDelete
  194. I don't have much of a stash yet, so pretty much all colors are under-represented! Thanks for doing a giveaway!!

    ReplyDelete
  195. I definitely do not have enough yellow - I'm always looking for the "right" yellow in my stash and never have it!

    ReplyDelete
