And In The Meadow… By: Susan Cook, Pennsylvania, USA This quilt is my first original design. When I first published it, I made the carrot button noses from polymer clay and I could make about 60 of them an hour. My hands were stained orange for 3 days after. Since then, I’ve had my buttons made by a company that reproduced one of my handmade buttons. Quilt size: width: 33" height: 41" |

Snowman Quilt By: piecrust, Georgia, USA This quilt represents my family and friends as snowmen. Fun to make, and even more fun to characterize someone as a snowman.

Winter Weekends By: Kaaren Biggs, Ontario, Canada An extra-long cuddle quilt for my son who is 6′ 7″ tall – snowmobiling is how he relaxes after a busy week in the corporate world!

I use off white the most in quilts .
My solid color that I use the most of is blues (mainly dark).
Thank You
Brenda
Very tough decision on the snowman quilts!
As for the “entry question,” the solid color I use most often is probably white.
Good luck to all of the quilt entries!
Mostly some shade of green. Seems to go with most things.
I definitely use white the most. Off-white is a close second.
As a new quilter I don’t have a lot of fabric but out of the few yardages i’ve bought, instead of fat quarters is dark maroon, wine like color! Bought some for first quilt. Love it so much went back and bought the rest of it! Love it!
Navy blue
very difficult choice of quilts this week ;-)
As for solids I use the most – even more difficult to pick, but going on my most recent finishes, it would be a toss up with white or blue ;-)
Definitely green!
the solid I use most is white – I always have several bolts of several different shades on hand.
I’m a typical modern quilter – I use white and gray alllllllllll the time!
Some cute quilts this week!
I use Kona pepper the most (almost black, but not quite!)
I definitely use black as a solid in my quilts. It makes my bright colours shine.
mostly white recently
I see a lot of blues in my quilts.
probably what I use the most is shades of white to tan to beige. But my favorite color is red. Lots of nice quilts to pick from
White seems to be my fave color for backgrounds. It seems to be most traditional and makes the rest of the quilt stand out. When buying white I buy the whole bolt…the other colors just bits and pieces.
I would probably use neutrals…shades of tan… the most. I am trying to include whites as a background color but find this hard to do.
I prefer white or off-white… something to make the colours pop!
What I have used the most is off white, but I am thinking I want to do some black backgrounds.
Purple! Thanks for the giveaway, Katy and Michele!
I like the theme this time and their are some lovely pieces. The giveaway is a nice array of fabric:)
I use Kona Snow or Bone the most.
I mostly use off white as a solid.
I use white the most :)
I use purple the most
Mostly cream or other neutral colours.
Red!
Aqua keeps showing up mo matter how hard i try to stay away from it. Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
Bright white
green! i love all shades, hues and tones of any green and some in most of my quilts.
I use Kona White … or a white on white …
If white counts as a color, that’s what I use most as a solid, but if it doesn’t count as a color, then red is what I use most. Love those checkered fabrics.
White
I like a pop of orange in my quilts.
I generally use Kona Bone for my solid since it seems to go so well with all the fabrics I like to use. And I buy it by the bolt at Joann’s using the best coupon I can find so I save a TON of money on it!
MGM
I use a lot of blue
Uso muito branco e cinza.Adorei esta votação em particular…amo e coleciono bonecos de neve.Parabéns a todos os participantes

RED!!! Is there any other color?
I like using white. It seems to really set off the other colors in the quilt.
For solids, white gets used the most, I buy it by the bolt, then black, and lately I’ve grown fond of grays.
I probably use cream or soft grey.
I would have to say this was the most difficult week to pick a winner I have voted on. They are all so much fun and so beautiful. Good luck to all.
My most used solid is still white, but I would like to jump on the red is a neutral train of thought.
I use white most! it goes with almost everything!
I use white and grey solids most, the go with every kind of fabric. I always purchase black solid in higher quantities, too, but I wouldn’t use it as main solid in a quilt because it becomes either too dark or too contrasty.
The solid I use most often currently is butterscotch, but after that, I think it would be black. Beautiful quilts!
I love a sollid deep red shade:-)
White, usually tone on tone instead of solid.
I would say I use mostly tan and/or beige.
