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.
Utilizo mucho los colores sólidos, pero quizá el que más uso es el beig.
saludos
I am not made for Winter!
as a “snopey” character said,however i do like pics of snowmen and spots of bright color, like the cardinal.
I use off whites and/or a deep brown color most often — depends on the colors of the main fabrics in quilt blocks!
Depende del trabajo elegido pero el que mas utilizo ,rojo- verde…SALUDOS.
I use red most often
probably pink. thanks for the chance
Lately I’ve been using a lot of blue, but usually I use white or cream.
I loooove using shades of green!!! (tho does depend on what other colors I’m usin’ in a quilt lol) I loooove green! 🙂
Thanks for chance to be in your drawing!
All of them are great I just wish I knew how to make them all
I use a lot of reds. Barn red is my favourite. Being a country quilter, it works!
I have been using a bright green for the past year. I love how it brightens up my quilts.
I use a lot of black. Not always a solid black. There is a Black batik I adore because it has some texture, but not enough that it shouts out that it is textured.
I use cream or black, though I used chocolate brown recently and loved it
I love black anc white but I use mostly blue.
It used to be white, but lately I’ve taken a “shine” to grey.
I seem to be using a lot of greens lately, and it wasn’t intentional! lol
LOL
I love blues – especially Navy. thank you!
Pretty quilts. I like to use off white and white a lot.
Wonderful projects.Green is my favorite but lately blue and white.Thanks
I use a lot of Kona snow solid in my quilts. It’s not bright white but a slightly duller white.
Solid? Wow, that’s as tough as choosing only one favorite this week. It’s rare for me to use a true solid what with the wealth of tones on tones, mottleds, and “read as solids” like batiks. My initial response was going to be black for what it does to other colors (POP!) but I’ll actually go with red. It’s always effective whether as a whisker-thin stripe on a black and white quilt or an in-your-face splash. I don’t often quote designers, but Bill Blass once said, “When in doubt, wear red.” I think it applies to quilts, too.
I think black is what I use most since I used it so much in bindings.
These quilt entries all showed great workmanship and wonderful colour choices. They were an inspiration for next winter–right now my thoughts are turned to spring! I love jewel tone colours and use them most often.
I use more grey and white than anything, because it can often make a nice background. I’m trying to be more adventurous though and use other colors for backgrounds sometimes.
I love all colours.
I use black a lot in my quilt. Sometimes as a background to batiks and hand dyed fabrics, and I use black for borders and bindings. That’s the one color that I run out of.
amazing quilts! I love blue,m my favorite colour. hugs
About the only solid I use is white…but i love using it! Thanks for the very generous giveaway!
Mostly dark blue.
My most used solid colors are all tones of white, thanks again for this give away
I usually use white or cream, but it really all depends on the pattern. Thanks so much!
My background fabric on sampler style quilts, in the past has been mainly beige tone on tone hues, but lately I have been drawn to solid white, and greys. Especially the gorgeous greys that are popping up. Thanks for a chance and good luck to all who entered quilts this week. I love them all!!!
I use a lot of cream colour background fabrics, mainly because I enjoy embroidering colourful designs on them to incorporate into my quilts.
I use a lot of light blue, for some reason it combines great with almost any other color 🙂
Kona charcoal and snow are my favorite colors.
I especially like January in upper michigan. Very unique work and I love this artist work.
I tend to use white or off-white in most of my quilts. Don’t really know why, however, white it is.
The quilt “January in Upper Michigan” is awesome!!!!!
There are so many talented quilters this month that I had a hard time just choosing 3 as each was simple beautiful in it’s right. Being a mid-Michigan girl I so can relate to “January In Upper Michigan”.
As for my answer about the solid color currently I’m stretching my color legs to get out of my comfort zone and have been working with yellows of late as I wasn’t sure if “Natural Muslin” would be considered to be a color.
Thank you for the chance to win such yummy fabric.
Sincerely,
Tricia
Since I am doing quilts specifically for other people…I have used their colors. But a quilt for me….blues. Love all the shades of blue.
Also wanted to say…..really, really hard to pick just 3.
I some how end up using most of off-white for a background fabric.
any shade of pinks ,love that color.
Lately I’ve been using Moda’s Porcelain, it doesn’t stand out as much as a white does. Otherwise it’s been a soft aqua, love that color!
Thanks for the chance to win!
im fairly new to quilting, so as yet my main solid color is white. it seems to go with everything no matter what.
I probably use a rich beige the most. This year, perhaps, I might attempt an entire quilt in solids.
I use a lot of red in my quilts. It was hard to choose the top 3 they are all great.
I use a lot of white…love the way it sets off bright colors. Love all the quilts.
I love all colors, hard to pick just one.
Such lovely quilts. Compliments to all participants.
I use off=white to beige for most backgrounds. Sounds boring, but I think it shows the patterns best.
I use a lot of PINK! Crazy, but I’m a pink lover. 🙂
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.
Hmmmmmmmm good question……….think black and cream 😉
I’m using white now a lot.
White! It’s so versatile.
Definitely white!
I use white. Specifically, Kona PFD (Prepared for Dying) but grey is a close second.
I use a lot of black.
Shades of White.
Red. I like to add a little red in all my quilt and projects.
I use Kona “Snow” for an all-purpose white. It seems to go with both cool and warm colours.
white as a background, but sash with whatever is a suitable
colour.
Lately I have been into the yellow-creams, (verging into pale yellow). It’s been really sunny here the past few days, so maybe I am just trying to rush spring. SOOOOOO ready for winter to be over!
White is the color I use the most. Thanks for the giveaway. I love the houndstooth fabric.
I use a lot of blues..over run in boy babies..lol
Neutrals like calico color & white lately.
I tend to use a lot of blues but not necessarily solids. Were I to look in my solid fabric bins, probably I have more shades of blue ready to use than any other color.
I have been using more solid white lately.
love to be entered in giveaway thanks
oops forgot to answer
yellow
I’ve been using various shades of gray lately…both dark and light.
I used a lot of white solid… all range of white. Voting for only three this week is really tough…so many beautiful works!
I used light pink for my last quilt because that was what I had on hand, but think I’ll be switching to white or cream for future ones.
Los azules y toda su variedad de celestes pegan con casir todo lo que hago .Gracias a su increíble trabajo y a Katy.Cariños.
Oh my, the quilts this week are so charming, it was very difficult to choose.
When I dó my own sewing, I guess green solid is my number one colour, simply because my stash is overflowing with green solids. They seem to grow in number lol. I really love green, it makes the Warmer colours shine.
ik gebruik momenteel veel paars
groeten
It depends, but often neutrals like calico.
I’m using Kona’s Stone most lately.
I like to use a little bit of red in a lot of my quilts. I use shades of white often too.
White is kind of my go-to solid, but it’s not actually solid usually, more tone-on-tone.
Great work everyone! It was hard to select only 3!
The solid color I use most in my quilts… Blue!
I am not really partial to any one colour. but if I look at my scrap bins, blue and white/lights are over flowing these days.
I would say it is a tie between blue and green.
The solid colour I use most is blue.
If I use a solid it is yellow which is more often than not the background color.
I use Ecru quite a bit when I sew.
Thanks,
mostly creams.
I love to use a lot of bright colors, but blue is my favorite.
Seems to be red, judging by my stash pile.
I can’t live without a green of some shade.
Pink. Many women is that we are home!
Gracias!
I use dark blue. And that is because the quilts I make are all tardis quilts. Though when I make other quilts I usually use a pannel and not a lot of solid.
