You're the winner for last week's
color story giveaway
Please email your name and street address to: info@micahelmillerfabrics.com
Now for today's color story:
Here at Michael Miller we try our best to please you all.
( that's not just schmoozing, I really do mean it)
That means listening to what you ask for and what you buy.
The majority of you have made it very clear:
When it comes to the colors you want for your children,
It's Pink for girls, Blue for boys.
This is soooo traditional it's embarrassing.
But combining ballet pink with coral and gray puts a bit of a twist (and somewhat retro) on this
traditional girly-girl favorite.
traditional girly-girl favorite.
Don't get me wrong -
I'm not saying we need or want to pigeon-hole our kids into certain color traditions.
I'm also not so sure that so many little girls would be drawn to all things pink, lavender and girlie
if they weren't bombarded by endless aisles of pink and lavender in the "girl" toy aisles and the media.
if they weren't bombarded by endless aisles of pink and lavender in the "girl" toy aisles and the media.
What they need is OPTIONS and this is only one of MANY.
so now it's time to share your thoughts.

and next wed. one random winner
will receive 1 yard of each of the "its a girl" prints shown above.
Next wed. will be all about BOYS!
i'm a girl and these colors and fabrics are wonderful...
ReplyDeleteI love adding the coral and gray to liven up the traditional pink!
ReplyDeleteI find the more you fight it, the more your little girls will want to wear it. If pink is what makes a little girl feel pretty then I say "don't fight it". I love the combination of grey and pink (I think even more than I did the pink and brown combo)
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are awesome! I'm not at all a girly person, but I can see my child being one! Again, it's not able pigeon holing, but about giving options.

I have developed more of a love of pink the older I have gotten. I have always loved coral and the pinks, corals and greys in this line are magnificent!!
ReplyDeleteomigosh...the bike, the elephants..im in looove
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have the boy's colorway and it made a super cute quilt. I really like that you made a girl's colorway.
ReplyDeleteSeriously is there a Michael Miller fabric that I don't like?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have one girl after 4 boys, so having things not quite so frilly as options is good!
ReplyDeleteI love the grey with the pink.
ReplyDeleteJudith
LOVE.LOVE.LOVE
ReplyDeleteOH!! My little girl would LOVE that bicycle print and the hippo and giraffe print and the dots and..and..and.. I just love it too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win.
I love the pink and grey! The animals are adorable and that bicycle print is great, too. Can't wait 'til I have a little girl that I can dress up in pink! Can't wait to see the boy colorway, either!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 little boys and wasn't that fussed about pink, but when I found out that the (surprise!) baby we are expecting in October is a girl, well, I don't know what came over me, but suddenly I like pink. Maybe it's pre-condtioning or years of boy stuff in the house :-)
ReplyDeleteYour fabric range is a wonderful and refreshing diversion from pure pink! Love it!
i do not fall into this pigeon hole. nor does my daughter. she had never said pink was a fav color of hers...mostly she likes purple. close i know...but her baby quilt (i made) was green,orange, blue and red. although i do love what MM has going on here with pink + gray!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those pink hippos are just too cute! Thanks for the chance. :)
ReplyDeleteOne grandniece loves purple and the other barely 3yo says "it has to be pink". So, this would be a fantastic win to make dresses and quilt / drapes for her and a new sister due in August. Thanks for the story.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 granddaughters & they all want Pink almost exclusively! I do love it mixed with the coral, though. I actually am working on a quilt now in the boy range of these!
ReplyDeleteThis colorway is so stinkin' cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink bicycle print so much! I have three girls, so we have a lot of pink and frilly around here. We can always use more!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink bicycle print! My girls both love pink. I love all of the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhen I had a girl, after three boys, I was so excited to embrace all things pink!! My daughter's favorite blanket is made from carnival bloom fabric. I love ALL Michael Miller fabric!!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think the color combos can't get any better, you post this one! I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that animal print fabric. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm already thinking of all the things I could make my niece with this collection!
ReplyDeleteI like these colors a lot. Even though my daughter's favorite color is blue, she doesn't mind some pink now and then!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that my son's faborite colors are pink and orange. I need a boy pink print (like the zoo one shown)that isn't girly :) He would love it!
ReplyDeleteMore GORGEOUS fabrics.. I'm drooling... As a wee girl I hated pink! Love it now tho... Especially with grey!
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely! Especially love the bicycle print!
ReplyDeleteSUCH NEAT FABRICS!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR SHARING!
These are beautiful. And really? Why would traditional be embarrassing any more than modern would be? It's just another preference in a sea of choices.
ReplyDeletelove your color combo,it is reminiscent of the 50s! the prints are awesome. I would love to win this,it would make an awesome quilt for my soon to be born first grandchild.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a real girly girl. But her favourite colour is green. I really like the combination of the grey with the pink, keeps it from being too sweet. Thank you for the chance to win :-)

ReplyDeleteLove those sweet elephants! I hate to admit it, but my sweet little girl looks fabulous in pink. I tried hard to steer clear of it, but it's just impossible!
ReplyDeleteWell, and the thing is, some of us don't outgrow it. I have a friend who looooovvvveeeesssss pink--her kitchen and its appliances are pink, she has a new baby girl, and the nursery is P-I-N-K. She also drives a Vespa. Guess what? It's PINK!
ReplyDeleteBut she's my friend and it's all beautiful.
Oh I love all of it.
ReplyDeleteI have a little guy who likes pink. The bicycle print might just be perfect for him :) Plus lots of girls in this fam. This prints are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat ogee on the top is just lovely. I can think of about 10 things I want to do with it! Now that my daughter is 8 she's branching out into other color preferences but for a while there it was pink or nothing.
ReplyDeleteMy almost 3 yo girl just requested pink curtains for her room and everything else pink to go with.
ReplyDeleteI love these colors! And dare I say - the pop of grey would make these fabrics adorable for a little boy's bow tie :) And just about anything for a modern little girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm a mom of two daughters and these make me soo excited! Love these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThis color combo is gorgeous. It would be so cute made up into a nursery room for a baby girl.
ReplyDeleteWow, that bike fabric is wonderful! Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fresh look to the girly pinks! Beautiful fabrics! I heard that there was a study and it was found that left to themselves girls would actually pick blue and boys pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I was never much for pink. However, with two little girls of my own, it was inevitable that some pink would find its way into our home. Funny thing is? The color has actually grown on me and I now even own some pink thinks for myself. Crazy! I love that this line is pink without being all up in your face with it's pinkness.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was pregnant, 17 yrs ago!!, I was so against dressing my baby girl in the "traditional" pink... but when she was born, I couldn't help it! She was a girl and pink just suited her. When she got older, her tastes moved from pink to purple, not much of a jump if you ask me. But when you have a little girl, pink just seems to fit! :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the touch of gray. It makes me happy to see a beautiful mesh of colors!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those! They are beautiful. Pink + gray = PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!!! I love the animals and the bikes!
ReplyDeletei love grey and pink together, these prints would make beautiful back to school dresses for my girls...girls that love pink! mama's fault, i will take full blame for that...everything else is daddy's fault :P
ReplyDeleteI'm eight months pregnant with my first little girl (after two boys!) and can't wait to finally BUY PINK. It's been a long wait! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLooove the bicycles!!
ReplyDeletelove lvoe love this line! love the black and pink. a little bit of Elvis! (bestest Elvis lip) thank you....thankyouverymuch!
ReplyDelete(mauh) Liz
Michael Miller fabrics rock. Fabric isn't just about style and Pattern. The tones of the colors have to match the tones of the wearer. My new granddaughter has the perfect skin tone to go with these fabrics. I'm dieing to create something fun for her.
ReplyDeleteI love the grey/black pink im so glad you have a hot pink in this too...older girls love that . thank you for having such a generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have 4 nieces, and I can see lots of cute stuff for them out of this fabric. Love the colors and the prints!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you went with a softer, muter colour of pink to match with the grays. I have two little girls and this is right up their ally!
ReplyDeleteWe went all out on the pink for our first daughter. When we found out baby #2 was also girl, we tried really hard to avoid pink. Now that the little one is almost 2, she chooses pink over other colors. Oh well, we tried. I love pink and grey and pink and black combinations!
ReplyDeletelove it love it love it!!!
ReplyDeletei have always loved pink, but have never had a room that was pink. my fav color as a kid blue! and growing up, my room was blue and lavender(so that is girly) but they weren't in my room at the same time! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove these prints! I have twin girls and love to dress them in non-pink colors.
ReplyDeleteOH I definitely am not afraid of Pink! I am a mom of 2 girls expecting my 3rd and I love all of it!! <3
ReplyDeleteI've never really liked pink but this combos is really appealing! The gray really makes the pink look grown-up!
ReplyDeleteThat group is ADORABLE!!! I can see several things in my daughter's future from that collection.
ReplyDeleteboodybabies [at] comcast [dot] net
I *despised* pink until I was expecting my daughter when I fell in love with all things pink (before I knew what gender she was!) The love affair continues :-) I do love how the coral and charcoal greys balance the pink in these fabrics, hey are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I never would of thought pink & grey, I like the fabric combinations. I would love to see the light grey with the trees as just a tone on tone print, or the stripes or the dots. I like vibrant, so if I ever have a girl, I'd probably choose fuschia. :-) My mom did an adorable quilt for my niece, it was bubblegum pink, black & white.
ReplyDeleteLove these prints!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
simplysara83@gmail.com
i say that there must be a reason that "girl colors" are pinks and purples and "boy colors" are blues and greens. kids should be free to pick their own colors when they're old enough to have a preference, but i see nothing wrong with giving a girl pink! but i love the recent trend to pair the traditionally girly pink with the more modern browns and greys!
ReplyDeleteI think you hit the nail on the head- it's all about options, and there's nothing wrong with pink for girls...or green, or blue, or orange. Colors give our world life!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. My little girl said she'd love a fun 'surfer girl' kind of print! Oranges, teals, lemon, lime, red, crisp white, and beachy fun. Have you considered a line like that? Fresh, bold and girly without being TOO traditional?? Thanks for the chance to win this!!
ReplyDeletexo
I was not ever a pink girl, so when I had my daughter I tried to find things for her in anything but Pink, now that she is older and starting to have an opinion of her own...Her favorite color is PINK! These fabrics are an awesome compromise for both of us!! Love the color combos!
ReplyDeleteI love this combo together! Perfecto!
ReplyDeleteso cute!!!
ReplyDeleteMy little girl's favourite dress for a long time was a blue one. She now declares her fave colur to be purple but does regularly seem to be drawn to pink!
ReplyDeleteThis fabric line is gorgeous and would be loved by all the girls I know :)
Thanks for the giveaway.
LOVE the color combos! My girls are all over the place, I have one who adores all things yellow, another freaks out about pink and the third just can't seem to get enough purple. Great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a Girl Thing!
ReplyDeletewow, loved the combination and continuous girly :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this time :)
a little change never hurt anyone! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors!! Love the prints!!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors! When I was first pregnant with my daughter I was totally against pink, by my ninth month her entire room was covered in pink!
ReplyDeletePink is ok, but there are so many FABULOUS colors out there to choose from! These fabrics are great.
ReplyDeleteecisley(at)comcast(dot)net
pink and bikes combined...wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWow...love this color palette.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE these colors together. LOve lovelove Thanks!
ReplyDeletePerfect for back to school... whatevers! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Not too girly, but still sweet. I can think of all sorts of sweet dresses and skirts...
ReplyDeleteLove this line. Bought the boys color in flannel a few weeks back! Gotta get my machine out to do something w/ them now! Hopeing to win!
ReplyDelete5th granddaughter coming in November. The name of this line caught my eye and I had to check it out. Love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 Girlie Girls that would love these prints.
ReplyDeleteI think these colors are fantastic and a much more modern look than the traditional pink.
ReplyDeleteThese prints are great and I would love to create something with all of them.
These would even work for pieces of 'this girl's' wardrobe! Love the combos! momtasticstitchery at gmail
ReplyDeleteI do know what you're saying about stereotyping colors for boys/girls,BUT have you ever met a small child and wondered if they were a boy or girl because of their short hair, etc.? My only saving grace is if they are wearing pink...but sometimes girls wear blue too! Love the polka dots, stripes & animals--so darn c.u.t.e.!
ReplyDeleteI think pink and grey are a lovely combination.
ReplyDeleteginger c at gmail dot com
I love the fabrics. Will have to bookmark if the bump turns out to be a girl.
ReplyDeleteI love the mixture with pink and grey! It really does make it look not so childish but a bit more lady like! Thank you so much for adding that to your colorway too! My girls both LOVE pink and have even fought over things because of the color pink. I love the bicycle print and when I have looked at it my girls piped up in the background that it is "just too cool!" Thank you for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI happen to love the traditional colors for babies. When the kids get a little older, they start to gravitate to favorites. Thank you for the chance to win these beautiful traditional girl colors. Take care and God bless, Cory
ReplyDeleteI've kind of always had a thing for gray - it's so much more pleasant than the stark black and what could be more feminine than pairing it with pink and coral shades! This bundle would make a gorgeous quilt or a fun, funky shoulder bag!
ReplyDeleteso freaking cute!!!! i love it and i am more green for girls
ReplyDeleteAdding coral with the pink and gray is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the pink, coral, black and gray go together. That mix really works. Had only grandsons and now have a little granddaughter. Love to work with pink.
ReplyDeleteNo girls here, except me. But I've got a lot of friends with girls. What I like about this collection is that it's feminine without being over the top.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love those patterns! Especially the bicycle one, it makes me feel all warm and happy. :)
ReplyDeleteGirls wearing pink is actually a relatively new thing - http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/When-Did-Girls-Start-Wearing-Pink.html
ReplyDeleteOh how cute. The jungle themed print would win my daughters heart over. I'm getting ready to move her to a nice big room (So I can have her room for a sewing studio :) ) and she's chosen pink, grey, black and white as her color scheme, these fabrics would be awesome, thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Thea, !!
I don't think my girls ever wore much that was all pink, or ruffly, it never seemed to work for them ... pink and black were great, it was "girly" but not over the top. These fabrics are so nice!
ReplyDeleteLove, love this color way. I have done a little boys quilt with the blue, gray combo's. I think I like the girly prints better.
ReplyDelete"Pink, Pink, Pink," cried Pinkalicious (one of my daughter's favorite storybook characters).
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with the Pink & Grey combo right now. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI have a 2yo girl and I love putting her in pink but I usually throw a splash of something else in there, the other day we did a Pink & Red combo and it was quite stunning.
LOVE these colors! :)
ReplyDeleteLove pink and gray and this combo is great! Prints are great too! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have been loving grey for awhile. I was so glad when it became the rage. Love pink and grey together!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink! Oh wait, I love the gray! My head is spinning with ideas!
ReplyDeleteLove this colour combination; it's very sophisticated. My mother loved her girls in pink, especially me. As I grew up, mom would tone the pink down with other colours. I remember having a grey coat with black buttons, like many kids did. Only my mom bought pink accessories to complete the outfit. As a result, I have always put white and pink with grey.
ReplyDeleteLove your giveaways!
I love the animal print! I know exactly what I'd do with it!
ReplyDeleteI love putting coral and pink together - they look so fresh and my grand daughter looks spectacular in them. Adding the greys is luscious!
ReplyDeleteBefore my daughter was born, a friend told me "don't let her be all into glitter and pink and princesses". To this I said: I had a boy first, and after blue and green and trucks and sticks and stones, I'm entitled to some pink and pony tails and barbie dolls. Also, what makes you think that I will have any control over her girly tendencies?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just turned 7 and while I have always had pink in her room it wasn't the focus color. Her walls are yellow, her bed is green,her carpet is aqua what did she say to me today?! "I want to paint my room" "what color would you like?" "PINK!" I think it's an instinct that comes out...pink! I loved that colorway and fabric line when I saw the pictures from market, the grey and pink together are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love this grouping. It is perfection! I am going to decorate with these beautiful fabrics!!!
ReplyDeleteLove(!) the grey mixed with pink...it's a nice change from brown (Which I happen to be a big fan of as well). My little one would be in heaven...I have yet to get her out of the "pink" phase in over 7 years...
ReplyDeleteWhile I am uncomfortable with gravitating to stereotypical boy or girl colors, when I make baby quilts I always consider whether a dad will think my color choices are "too girly" or a mom will think I didn't make something especially for her daughter because the quilt is too blue. I do think there is more room to add "baby blue" to girls's quilts than to use soft colors for baby boys.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to enter.
This is just adorable! My daughter's bedroom is done in pink and brown...after seeing these she just asked if we could change it to pink and gray! lol
ReplyDeletePink is not so my color... but these ... I LIKE!
ReplyDeleteI likie! I likie!! Beautiful pink!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves all things pink! I have to say it is growing on me after 9 years :) The combinations in these prints will look beautiful in a quilt for her, and doesn't seem too pink so will she will get lots of use out of it in later years...
ReplyDeleteTraditionally pink was for boysand blue for girls! I like these : )
ReplyDeleteI don't have much pink at home (2 sons and a husband) but I love these fabrics - inspires me to sew for my 6 nieces!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm loving the animal print fabric!
ReplyDeleteI found you through a e-newsletter (from fabric.com) and I'm so glad I did! I've added you to my Google Reader. :-)
Thank you for a chance to win!
Love the idea of pink and gray! And the bicycles are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics - what fun!
ReplyDeletetamiquilts@yahoo.com
Oh yea, baby....I'm about to become a Grammie so this is right up my alley. Thank you, Michael Miller. Kathy
ReplyDeleteLove pink, gray and black combos!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour combo! Plus I`ve got three girls :)
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are beautiful, I am loving the gray.
ReplyDeletePink and gray were vry popular in the mid-late 50s. I loved it then, and I love it now. Girls and boys should wear, decorate their environment, buy, and love any color that makes them feel good. Pink makes me feel good, and happy, and I get more compliments when I wear it than I do with any other color! Horray for pink!
ReplyDeleteFinally! Someone will use darker tones with the pink to make it POP! :) I'm having so much fun making things with these fabrics for my grandchild. She's a 'farm girl' but likes her pink!
ReplyDeleteI love anything girly.. the pink looks awesome in your fabric designs!!
ReplyDeleteSimply GORGEOUS! The collection is just beautiful! What a beautiful nursery these fabrics would create.
ReplyDeleteI love the pinks and grays together!
ReplyDeleteWell, having 3 girls myself, I'd say pink is definitely over done, but I do love the coral added. For my last daughter I used pink black and grey, I came close! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love boys/men in pink too. My son-in-law loves his pink golfing shirt and shoes and he looks very handsome. Pink/Grey/Black and white is lovely! Thanks
ReplyDeleteSherrie
these colors are just perfect. I didn't love pink when I was a young girl, but I've grown to appreciate it. Those animals are just precious!
ReplyDeleteKristen
Love love love this! I keep thinking of all the precious things I can make for little ones with these!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I am definitely a pink girl but it doesn't mean I always want the same thing. I love having variety and choices! This is a lovely combination!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination! I have grown to be more of a pink lover, but this is EXACTLY my taste!
ReplyDeleteI am in love.... The colors are wonderful combination... I am thinking of all the wonderful items I can make...
ReplyDeleteI love this line! Thanks for taking a fun and fresh spin on the typical pink/girl colors!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the grey that is in all of the fabric lately. It adds a fun new twist.
ReplyDeletei love this combo!!!
ReplyDeletemy daughter is in love for pink and purple (and hello kitty !)...she's 4 and i can't change her mind!
when she was a baby, her clothes were oarange, yellow, green, pink, brown...her room was fisrt paint in orange and green...we changed in february for pink and purple!!..sometimes its difficult to chose another color !!...i made a dress for ma baby doll...with flowers by MMiller!! (with pink of course!)
but this combo is lovely lovely lovely!!
(excuse me for my English, I'm French ;) )
Very pretty. I never actually cared for pink myself until I had two girls. color grows on you.
ReplyDeleteThis color combo looks great and can be used for much more than baby stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love it and really like this project of yours :-)
these are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have 3 boys and 1 girl. When my daughter was only a year old she started pick out things that were pink and purple. I was shocked. I'm not "girly" and she has 3 brothers around her!
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought much about the issue until I had a daughter who is very feminine and loves pink, despite the fact that I've always been a tomboy myself. I've been thinking of making her a quilt for some time now, but can't get myself to work with "pinky-pink" fabrics; your combination looks wonderful and I'm sure it would look fabulous on her "big girl" bed!
ReplyDeleteI did my baby girl's room in blue...just to fight all the pink everyone else started buying. I'm not a huge pink fan, but I LOVE it with the grey and black. It's so modern as opposed to frilly. I love it, and I know my little princess diva would, too.
ReplyDeleteThis line is perfect for little girls dresses - not too sweat, but very girly.

ReplyDeleteI've loved every color combination in this particular fabric line, but I do favor this "grown UP" color combo. I wasn't a pink person when young... lavendar, lilac, periwinkle, etc.... were my colors, but I'm loving pinks more with each decade!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors -all my favs all together-it is awesome! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh those are SO very cute,
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt out of them
The fabrics are gorgeous. My husband's niece loves pink & these would make a great quilt for her. My niece's stepdaughter decorated her room in blue and brown, but she's a girly girl too, just not in the traditional "think pink" fashion. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSugar and Spice, and everything thing nice! That's what this collection is made of!
ReplyDeleteI love non-traditional girly prints (bikes, animals) with traditionally girly colors. And I love the pink/gray. I'm so tried of brown.
As a mom of 4 girls and an avid sewer my mind is spinning with ideas. There are so many little skirts, peasant dresses, bags, and purses that I could sew with gorgeous fabric. My two oldest girls are oooohing and awwwwwing over my shoulder. They love the pink and greys. Pick me! Pick me!:)
ReplyDeleteMy girls love all colors and I never hesitate to let them pick their favorites. That said, pink and purple and all the variations are their usual favs. SO, so fun!
ReplyDeletei just had my 2nd baby girl and i would LOVE this fabric so i can get started creating stuff for her room!
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is awesome! It's not all too young for my older girl but still good for littles too!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to give these to my sister if I win! Gorgeous prints!
ReplyDeleteWe have all of our adult lives to wear more sophisticated colors. I totally embrace pink for little girls because you can't really get away with a head to toe pink ensemble when you are middle aged! But it is such a lovely color! I love gray and Michael Miller has the best gray fabrics out there!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to pigeonhole my daughter to pink, either, but she does tend to gravitate towards it. Probably all the princess merchandise, etc, but we've been trying other colors and she's become less enthralled with "ALL" pink and more interested in mixing it up. I love the corals, greys, etc as a substitute for pure pink. It's refreshing!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect color combinations............I love them. Would sew love to make my grandaughter's nursery out of this print.
ReplyDeleteI sew want to make my grandaughters nursery out of these prints. They are the perfect combination, I can hardly wait to have them in my possession.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves pink so much, it makes me cringe! She's finally started to branch out into red and orange, and sometimes black! Maybe there's hope yet. :-) I love the combination you have here, and I think she would too. Thanks for the chance to win some!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are gorgeous! I can already picture many projects for my daughter!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these prints/colors! It's such a fresh twist on classic pink!
ReplyDeleteLove love love. These colors are darling together! Beautiful fabric!
ReplyDeleteI must say after 4 awesome little boys. Pink was not much of a option except for myself. Now I am having a little girl. I never realized how much happiness this little girl whom will be dressed in pink head to toe makes me. So here I am firmly on my way to the pigeon hole.
ReplyDeletei'd love to get your fabrics. i have 4 daughters that i can make many things for. thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this combo! I have always loved coral pink and grey!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are so adorable. I can just imagine a cute little baby girl running around in a onesie made of the one with the animals on it. Very cute..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics! I love the pink and grey color combination.
ReplyDeleteFabulous marriage of colors. They are classy and sophisticated. I also love the various patterns you have chosen. I have lots of blacks and grays in my house. One of our bathrooms are black, gray and coral. I think the colors are just so elegant. I get compliments from friends all the time. I'm going to have to purchase the stripes, the elephant and one of the dots.
ReplyDeleteThere are two many things to list here what I could do with this awesome fabric
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting my first grandchild and I'm really excited to see you've got pinks that aren't so 'basic'. I'll be making the crib bedding and blankets and clothes for our new arrival and I haven't found much out there that wasn't just plain pink. I LOVE pink with options! Thanks a bunch and I can't wait to see the blues!
ReplyDeleteWendy Thompson
I have never been a pink girl myself but i do like it as an accent. As such, the addition of coral and grey does enliven the pale tones and it becomes a more sophisticated palate.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate pink, but I find that I'm growing into it as I get older. Now, if it's the right pink I love it!
ReplyDeleteWith 3 little girls running around our house, pink is a MUST! Love the pink and gray. Great prints!
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons I didn't want to find out the sex of our baby is because I didn't want ALL pink or ALL sports/blue. But now that he's here I find myself wanting all the real boy-ish stuff :) I mainly have boy colors in my stash so these would be great to have!
ReplyDeleteGirls Rule!
ReplyDeleteGray and pink has been one of my favorite color combos since I was a little girl. Love this!!
ReplyDeletecraemac@gmail.com
I really like adding the grey, it's still girly but it helps to tone things down a bit!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors! I love the animal print, especially the pink hippos.
ReplyDeleteI love love love this! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI just had a little girl 7 months ago & got my very 1st sewing machine for my birthday last week. This is the fun age where she's smiling & cooing & crawling everywhere. I'd love to be able to make her some adorable outfits, but I've been looking for inspiration. I think I found it in these prints!!
ReplyDeleteI love these prints and the colors! So true about kids and colors. My grandson is two and so far his favorite colors have changed from yellow to orange to green to blue.
ReplyDeleteI am hoarding girl prints in hopes that I someday have a granddaughter! These would be great!
This is yet again another magical collection that is 10 times better than the pink and chocolate thing.
ReplyDelete"What comes around"...You know the saying. Pink & Grey is a combination I have always liked very much. Even as a kid, in 1976, my first skirt sewing project was a beautiful stipped fabric in theses colours, a nice dusty pink and kind of a mouse grey. To this day, I remember it so well. I hope I win!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! A quilt made from these beautiful materials would be simply delightful!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric! Michael Miller fabric is the best fabric to work with...washes up so nicely, easy to sew. The fun patterns always add to an outfit.
