does anyone know if any on-line sites would make up a "kit" of the fabrics for you? This is just a question for future reference. I do not have a big stash and am lousy at picking out fabrics when the pattern calls for many fat quarters of different variations of colors (eg: navy, blue with white, white with blue; then various tans and light browns) The blues don't have purples or teals in them, just various true blues. Anyway, I digress...
Anyone know of a place that will do that? Might be a good little side-line for a private person too! A personal fabric shopper to go with your personal machine quilter!

I know the owners of the LQS's around here (all about an hour away) would help with something like that. I was in one a few weeks ago just browsing and talking to the owner. I told her I wanted to do a bargello and a French braid, but that I was absolutely horrible at picking out fabrics. She told me to come back when I was ready and she would go through the shop with me and help me decide what would work for each quilt. She said that was her favorite thing about owning a shop was to help people decide things like that. So if you have a local LQS, I bet they would be more than happy to help you out.

GREAT IDEA, Kitsie! I too am TERRIBLE at colour :? Until you posted it, I never knew what a "kit" even was! :lol: This would be great for me, too since I have pic of quilts I want and patterns but good luck picking out the colours if there aren't any in the store EXACTLY like what's in the pic! :lol:

Yes, it would be fun to shop w/a knowlegeable person. Wish we could find the person on the board who's a "Personal Fabric Shopper"!!!
