Speaking of color, that is
another way in which
quilters differ.
For me, there are some colors I just do not like.
No matter how hard anyone tries to push them
on me, I’m not going to like them.
That
being said, over the years I have learned to tolerate some of these colors.
Sometimes the color I like least is the
perfect accent to what I am working on.
If that is the case, I will use it.
If, however, I am expected to use one of these colors as the feature,
all you will see me do is cringe.
The
funny thing is, other people would probably say the exact same thing about
my favorite colors.
In fact, I heard a woman once go on about how
much she hated a color that happens to be one of my favorites.
I, of course, thought she was crazy to be so
against this color I love, but I figure she would probably think the exact same
thing about me.
How in the world could I
love a color she so dearly hated?
Easily.
I just do.
It’s the same way that she just doesn’t, and that’s okay.
Not everyone has to like something simply
because I do, which is why I’m not listing any specific colors that I like or
dislike.
Maybe I will in the future, but
right now my favorite colors do not matter.
What matters is that if everyone liked the exact same things all the
time, the world would be a pretty boring place.
There would be no differences to explore or new ideas to celebrate.
Can you imagine if everyone used the exact
same colors or fabric lines to make quilts?
I would become bored so quickly, and I image most others would too.
Differences in color and fabrics are what
makes each quilt (and quilter) unique.
While some may prefer for everything to be the same, I find it far more
important to have what I do be unique instead of being like everyo
ne else.
