On the fabric.com blog , the Fabric Maverick gives a tongue-in-cheek "oath" for her posse to swear to. I was brought up short by the second clause:
2. I will use a color I have never used before.
What can this mean? I've used black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, silver, and gold. Break it down any finer than that, and *every* uncut fabric is a color you've never used before.
Come to think of it, I see pink as a separate color from red. But you can't go very far down that road before you are distinguishing cherry from cerise.
