I cut pieces from a variety of my fabrics and put them into colour groups. Sorting through my fabric collection made me realise where I needed to add to it. I have collected a lot of neutral fabrics. This is because I like to colour them myself so that I can try to get the specific colour I would like. Also seem t be attracted to warm colours. I feel I must push myself to work with other colour schemes.
I also have quite a lot of chiffon and organza pieces. I think this is because I like the textured edges I can get by layering and fraying. In addition I have felt in a variety of colours. I do like felt - obviously it doesn't fray when working with it and this is useful when using it to applique. However when I applique I really like raw edges and tend to use fabrics that I can fray.
