What color/pattern?

So I've been looking at buying some fleece for my future cage and there are about a million different colors and patterns. I don't know how anyone could decide which one to get. So I'm wondering how ya'll came to your decisions and what color/patter you decided to get.

I wanted something modern and funky. So I waited until I found the perfect print (Sad I know but I love my fashion) so I've got a dark brown fleece with cream polkadots. Very cute.

I went to Walgreens and they didn't have much of a selection variety so I just got what they had. It was several different colors of plaid, a zebra stripe one and some solids.

How many sets of fleece do you recommend that I get?

Enough for at least two cleanings. Remember you need to have something absorbent for an underbedding.

Re: What color/pattern?

My favourite fleece is an old blanket my friend donated to the piggy quarters. It's leopard print, and apart from being really cute and looking good with their colourings (one white, one golden agouti), poops are camouflaged on it! I have to run my hand over it to find them all. Perfect.

Re: What color/pattern?

I get whatever's on sale that catches my eye. There were no-sew fleece blanket kits on sale when I got my first couple of sets. Orange solid and blue/black/orange flames, which I thought would be adorable for boys and orange is my favorite color... and pirate-themed with a red solid. Both prints have been mostly ruined, the orange I cut up for hideys and cozies and things, and the red solid is in the cage right now -- red hot summer.

I've also been able to find remnants large enough to cover a 3x4 cage and then some (Curious George, which was too cute not to have but is about to be cut down for cozies, and leopard print which I cut in half for Mogwai's 2x3), and a very manly plaid for Mogwai as well. I love it when I can get the sizes I need for less money! I also have some camo print fleece I have yet to cut for the guys' cages.

Re: What color/pattern?

I'm kind of anal and have a bunch of fleece patterns. Just whatever catches my eye, really.

Re: What color/pattern?

I went to Jo-anns and they had almost all the fleece 50% off. At first i couldn't really find any thing cute or that was dark enough to not show stains. But after searching high and low I found a purple tie-dye fleece with horses which was perfect because I LOVE horses. Ahh it's almost too cute to put in the cage.
