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 would say black, but lately I have been using a lot of gray, and bubblegum pink also!
For background I choose off white or an other light one. Thanks for the chance
I rather sadly use only white, should be bolder with my choice! So hard to choose just 3
Ivory is my go-to color!
I use white most of the time, but I have started using some gray.
I would say that I use black the most in my quilts…as far as solids go…
I use a lot of gray for the background.
I use mostly white. I love those 30’s reproduction fabrics and they just demand white.
I use shades of blue the most in my quilts.
I use mostly white or cream.
I use mostly grey for my backgrounds.
I”d say I use off white more than any other solid color , I like the way it makes all of the other fabrics stand out more.
I love bright colors so I usually use those. But if I need to pick one specific color , I would say Orange.
I have always, always used creams and off whites but the new modern quilts have me thinking about white backgrounds and possibly grays. Am amazed that I am using some white and worked out of my comfort zone.. but am liking the clean effect.
Black. I use it to frame, enhance and outline colours in the printed fabrics mainly.
I probably have to say black solid. Maybe gray is coming in second.
Mostly white. Thanks for the chance!

I rarely use solids — my style is contemporary/traditional — but when I do I use Kona Snow or the equivalent. I’ve been trying to resist getting sucked into Modern Quilting because my stash of “regular” fabric is ginormous enough….but, oh, those designs are tempting! Is solid gray in my future? (With lime and turquoise. Hmmm….)
After thinking about it, I would have to say white.
Mostly , yellow or aqua but I have recently used Kona Ash. These Giveaway fabrics are great!
Whites and off-whites. I’m a very traditional quilter.
I have to say cream is my favorite solid.
I almost always use beige/off white as the solid “common factor” in all my quilts. I dont like the starkness of pure white, and with off white/beige, I can match that with any other colour and/or pattern.
Boring, I know, but I go through yards of Kona Snow at a time. It goes with everything!
So far, I’ve seldom used solids except for white or cream. Most recently, I did finish a quilt made with a deep chocolate brown and loved it!
I try to sneak orange into every quilt. I think it makes everything else pop!
I would say Red , is my favorite solid color to use . Thanks for the chance .
I use Kona white the most in my quilting. I do love the crisp-ness of white in a quilt
I use a lot of green in my paper piecing.
Yellow, I think. Don’t use much in the way of solids but like the punch of yellow.
I think I probably use more greens than any other color. :)
I use a lot of black solids in my work. In the past, it’s help the patterned fabrics I used really pop!
I use greens the most. I am starting to us more white since doing more scrappy quilts.
I use a lot of pinks and reds.
Sky blue pink…. ( I wish) sadly it’s boring old black :( although, for my huge hand dyed bed quilt I dyed the fabric myself, outside in the garden, in the sun….
Hmmm I am gonna say turquoise or aqua. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’m thinking its usually neutrals, either black or white but lately it’s been stone or coffee brown.
I seem to use a lot of creams or I’m the total opposite with black.
The color of fabric that more use is green, I love this color.
I use a lot of neutrals, but if I had to choose a single colour it would be black. I love the way black makes the other colours sing, especially if I’m using brights.
I have been using a lot of white. It is a modern looking colour and sets the bright colours off and leaves large spaces especially for machine quilting.
Generalmente uso el blanco o el natural . El blanco es más fácil de conseguir en nuestro país. El negro también me gusta mucho.Un beso a todosl.
Most often I’d use Black or a version of white as a solid…although I’d really like to say I used some form of blue-green!
I use mostly creams.
I use mostly white for the quilt tops and darker solids for backs of quilts, especially when working with fleece.

I gravitate towards blues and greens.
ooo, thanks for the giveaway and the view of the wonderful winter piecing. I am lately using so much chartreuse that I had to buy more on etsy! I love pushing myself to new places, and that bright neon green is it!
I use a lot of yellow.
Solid color fabric would be off -white and sometimes I combine that with white on white. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. Judy C in NC
I love red fabric as it looks great with black, white, cream, greys just so many colors even purple, pink and orange to name a few. I love red so much that my van, truck,house, washer and dryer are even red.
