For my swap partners:

The easier part; what I don't like:
Batiks--really, I don't like them; I promise
Asian fabrics with metallics (note: this is specific to the metallics--I do like some traditional Asian fabrics)
Muddy colors
Calicos
Civil War repros
Novelty prints
Kaffe Fassett fabrics (or the like)

What I do like:
Japanese fabrics (this extends from kawaii to shibori to traditional indigo to kimono prints to echino)
Art Nouveau inspired prints
Arts & Crafts inspired prints
Art Deco inspired prints
William Morris
Lots of color (I'll almost always choose a color to use where most quilters use white)
Interesting color combinations
Hand embroidery and quilting
Thread painting
Buddhas (though not in a religious sense), kokeshi dolls, owls, peonies, penguins, clocks
Mid-Century Mod
And a ton of other things--I can't make an exhaustive list but my favorites and my blog might help :)
