Green, green, green. I love sage green and cream with some browns and tans mixed it. It soothes me and makes my house feel peaceful. sometimes i have to stop myself from buying green though otherwise my whole house would be green! I am also loving orange right now but not quite ready to start redecorating!

Aquas & Browns...think Amy Butler. It's fresh, new andlooks incredible in my 1920's American $ Square here in NC.
Posted by: Mart | September 10, 2009 at 08:19 AM
Gorgeous fabrics! I love all the colors--but just painted my bedroom deep blue (sherwin williams dynamic blue) and have little pops of lime green and light orange. I want to stay in it all day! It's the perfect combination of calm with a little energy.
Posted by: Dodi | September 10, 2009 at 08:21 AM
Aqua blue and line green with a little pink and orange here and there. I just feel inspired when I am around these colors and they energize me. Especially on long deary winter days!

Posted by: Nadine | September 10, 2009 at 08:39 AM
AWESOME stuff!! Since I have boys, I've been trying to stay away from the blues and greens (my go-to colors) - I'm involved in two circle journals right now and the one is pinks and oranges - LOVE it!!!
Posted by: Amber | September 10, 2009 at 08:45 AM

Posted by: Chris Dukes | September 10, 2009 at 08:46 AM
I'm in love with some colors I saw in a Better Homes and Garden special issue magazine. They publish the actual names of the colors - LOVE THAT! My studio walls are Obi Lilac and Honeydew Green. My cabinets are white and I have an armoir painted Floss Flower (a sort of Periwinkle). My favorite colors - cool tones.
Posted by: C@rol | September 10, 2009 at 08:49 AM
Aqua Blues, Lime/Sagey greens, and brown... for their calming, soothing effects... and I ♥ them!

Posted by: dmatthews | September 10, 2009 at 08:54 AM
Right now I'm loving pastel colors with brown ... just can't seem to get enough of them ... and as the weather turns, Orange, Olive & Brown seem to be finding their way in as well!
Posted by: Beverly | September 10, 2009 at 08:56 AM
Oh wow! These fabrics are simply lush! I am going to have to go check out that fabric site. My favorite color combo right now is a jewel tone combo to go into fall...deep dark eggplant, rich turquoise, and olive green. Such an amazing combo! smiles...

Oh, I guess I should leave my favorite color pallet ... well, take the color to side of your blog (convenient!), mix in turquoise and brown... I can't get enough of that color scheme! I feel earthy and grounded when I see it.
Posted by: Melanie K. | September 10, 2009 at 09:05 AM
I'm really into the brown/pale blue combo right now...it makes me think of these days when summer transitions into fall, and the process of snugging down for the winter ahead.
Posted by: Coffeemomma | September 10, 2009 at 09:06 AM
I love the colors of those fabrics, but another favorite is brown, rust, mustard, leaf green, with a flash of turquoise blue- very fall colors I guess.
Posted by: shalvi | September 10, 2009 at 09:08 AM
OMGoodness! That is some sweet fabric. This year is going to be a home made Christmas and this bundle of sweetness would be such a wonderful addition to my gift making supplies! Pick me! XO, Mimi
Posted by: Mimi Hornberger | September 10, 2009 at 09:11 AM
Oh yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!!
I am in the process of doing my little girl's room with a silverish color on the walls, HOT pink (with a purple undertone) closet and bookshelves and a yellow stripe. There are accents of black, turquoise, orange and lime green. YUMMY!
Her brother got my alltime favorite combo of turquoise with red accents!
Posted by: Sarah L | September 10, 2009 at 09:11 AM
This fabric is GORGEOUS! I am currently working on a gessoed duck cloth of turquoise and lime green with a splash of hot pink (dripping the hot pink from a melted crayon--fun!). We'll see...
Posted by: Michelle | September 10, 2009 at 09:13 AM
Hi! Love these fabrics. So beautiful! My favourite color combis at the moment are blue-brown-green or pink-brown-green. I love to make baby stuff with these colors! For girls it feels nice and fresh, for boy calming (and who won't need to calm down with a new baby *lol*).
Posted by: eira | September 10, 2009 at 09:15 AM

Posted by: Heather G. | September 10, 2009 at 09:17 AM
I ahve always been drawn to the blue color family. It makes me feel calm and relaxed. I need all the calm I can get with 2 kids, a full time job and a house to take care of. LOL.
Posted by: Misty K in Ohio | September 10, 2009 at 09:18 AM
Just tweeted about the giveaway on my heatg05 twitter account.
Posted by: Heather G. | September 10, 2009 at 09:19 AM
My favorite color combo (right now) is aqua and red. It is a bit retro - or can be Southwest-y, but it is always fun. I always have a hard time picking a favorite color, though because I love all color. Beautiful fabric, thanks for thinking of us!
Posted by: Stacey D | September 10, 2009 at 09:20 AM
Lime green!! It screams FUN!! Plus you can tone it down with brown or crank it up with a bright blue. Love it!! These fabrics are wonderful!!

Posted by: Sarah | September 10, 2009 at 09:32 AM
yay for fabric! I am just now learning to sew at 42 years old. Shoulda listened to my momma all those years ago and taken home economics! My favorite color combo right now is orange/teal/spring green. Which is odd for me, because I have never been a fan of orange, but they are bright/alive/vibrant, and that is exactly how I want to feel!
Posted by: Lynette | September 10, 2009 at 09:32 AM
I'm redoing my scraproom in pink and green, so that little stack of fabric would be perfect!!
I'm also loving robin's egg blue, orange, an almost lime green with some chocolate brown. Lovely!
Posted by: Michelle W. | September 10, 2009 at 09:32 AM
OMG what a great giveaway.
right now I am working with red, blue and creams from Moda
making a quilt for my all american bed room.
I also love using bright fun patterns for my daughter
Thanks for the chance to win.
