My favorite "colorful" quotes

To say that you hate a certain color tells me that you are ignorant of its use - Marika Contempasis

If you're the sharpest crayon in the box, maybe you're just a lousy color - Quilt and Dagger

My eyes light up when fabric enters the room - Oprah

I want it all, I want it now, and I make no excuses for the size of my stash..my approach to fabric excludes preconceived notions of what goes with what - Paula Nadelstern

I cannot pretend to feel impartial about the colours. I rejoice with the brilliant ones, and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns - Winston Churchill

Mere color...can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways - Oscar Wilde
