"Do you have any tendencies when it comes to selecting fabrics? Are there any colours you find yourself buying all the time, even though your stash is overflowing with them? Do you gravitate to striped fabrics, or tiny checks, or florals? Do you seem to always have more solids than prints in your stash?
It's very helpful to know what your preferences are, so you can do a little 'corrective shopping' once in a while. Since my tendency is to load up on bright, saturated colours and prints, every few months I go on a fabric-shopping trip where I only allow myself to buy subtle prints and neutrals. That way, my stash stays more balanced, and I can build more effective palettes for my EPP projects."
That's Diane Gilleland writing in All Points Patchwork
Most certainly! I need to stop looking at greens and blues and head for the other side of the colour wheel to stock up on reds and pinks, both in fabric and wool.

No prizes for guessing the colours I tend to buy, so a little more balance would be a good thing!
