My current favorite combo is turquoise and gray. I love Kona solids and those purples are beautiful! Thanks for offering this giveaway!
i have been sewing with a lot of teal and greys but that is mostly because i am working on a project for someone else.
That all really depends on the project! When you craft so so many different people you don't really get to choose your own color combos.
I love black and white. However, my daughter loves purple, so this is PERFECT!!

I love grey and anything else or red and white :)
Green and yellow. Though it does depend on the tones
yellow and aqua is my new fave combo
All the berry shades are my favourite which is why I'm here hoping to win! I also love blues especially soft cornflower.
I find that my favorite colors depend on the project - I really like reds and purples, but just made a perfect green bag for my sewing buddy.

Oh what lovely fabrics! THank you for the giveaway. Hmm, my favorite combo right now is a purple/pinkish color with blue...like in Kate SPains Terrain line. Merry Christmas.
Oooh, I just got some of the purple flower print from Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2, and these purpls would be perfect to pair with it!!! My current favorite combo is linen with pops of lime green.

I LOVE purple! My favourite colour combinations change all the time, recently it's been aqua and red, but I also love aqua and purple
purple is my favorite color, but recently aqua and tangerine have been making me very happy.
It so happens that purple is my favourite colour so I'm in love with your giveaway. Yellows come in second.
I've added myself as one of your followers :)
I've been really into gray and blue, but I'm about to selfishly sew myself a purple quilt, so winning would be awesome. Thanks for the chance!

Blue and Green
Funny! As luck would have it, I am making my daughter a quilt in...purple and grey! With some other girly colors thrown in for contrast, of course. I also really like light green and yellow. Merry Christmas!
I love purple with almost any color, but I think I'm feeling purple and red for my next purple combo! Though if I win these (which I totally hope I do since I love so many of the purple konas that I've actually not bought any because I can't decide!), well, these would be awesome wih charcoal or medium gray, I think! Check out the purple placemat from one of my recent posts - I bet it would be right up your alley! Thanks for participating in giveaway day, and congrats again on your awesome stocking drive - I've pulled a bunch of fabric and plan on making some when things are calmer next year, so I hope you do it again! Oh - and I also thought of you again last night as my iron dumped water everywhere! I'm behind on my blog reading, but I'm wondering if you ever found the perfect iron?
I'm a follower, too!
I tend to love the darker colors reds and forest colors!
My favorite is green and aqua! So fresh!
Orange and blue. Thanks!
I love incorporating greens and blues.
i love purple and grey too! i keep wanting to paint a room in my house those colors, but can't seem to settle on a shade. they are all too pretty!
Oh... I hope it is okay that at this moment seeing your fabrics I would also go for purples and grey. Grey rather than black because the later one would be a too hard contrast. But otherwise I love the combination of blues and greens... and not very surprising also yellow to orange to red together :)
My favorite color combo is pink and green!
Purple and green, definitely
I'm also a fan of orange and blue.
my favourite combo is purple with yellow, and also orange with navy blues.
Turquoise and orange :)
Thanks!

Well I love the color combo of chartreuse (or yellow)and dark gray. Those purples are really pretty too!
My daughter likes a lot of color, so I don't really have a favorite combo. I've been doing a lot of rainbow colored items for her. More of a neutral palette with some reds and blues for my son. kristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0tcom
Right now my favorite combo is lime green and pink
currently loving red and aqua. thank you.
