Reproduction Prints Are So Dull?

Occasionally I run across a comment or overhear a shopper claiming that she doesn't care for reproduction prints because they are too drab.

Think Yellow!
Nancy' Swanwick's stars. She had a stack of 49 when I photographed these.
I taught a class in these stars recently and the class was supposed to swap a star or two. Only 1 person of 25 would give up her stars. It wasn't me. We liked them toooooo much.
Here are some great star blocks from my weekly Stars in a Time Warp QuiltAlong.

My advice: Buy a lot of yellow yardage when you see it. Add it to your reproduction stash. Use it all the time.
