I love both. It all depends on what I am working on!

Pamela said...

I mostly use prints, but solids are great with them!

Unknown said...

I have just gotten out of my solids craze. I still am doing a few things with solids but I am now incorporating many more prints once again. I truly find that my taste in fabrics is ever changing and evolving. If I must give an answer than I'd pick prints at this time.

Kristin said...

I mix both in my quilts - I like the "serenity" of solids.

Lee said...

I use both! thank you!

Wendy said...

I like to use both but i find prints easier to incorporate

I use mostly prints. I like solids, but I find that I never have the color I need when I need it. Maybe I just need to get some more solids in my stash.

Prints are more scrappy, but I use solids as well. I am into 30s, and solids go into it, happy bright quilts are more gifted quilts.

Dana Gaffney said...

Both, although lately I've been leaning towards blenders.

Luanne said...

I love prints!

KaliaContiki said...

I love the look of solids but I also usually buy fat quarters and the place I buy them doesn't sell solids that way. So I tend to buy solids for specific projects rather than just stash enhancement.

I almost always use just prints with a white background. Although, if I ever get comfortable with free-motion quilting, I'd love to do a quilt with only solids!

Daytona Damsel said...

Prints or solids or both
That is the question.

The answer - both. Whether together or separate if it's the right color it's used.

Laura said...

I use both solids and prints, but prefer prints. I'd choose a tone on tone "print" before a solid in most cases because I like the visual texture better. However, I have made some projects in solids only.
