Our brains don't all work alike. When I worked at the first quilt shop, my boss and I could arrange fabric pretty much the same. The next shop I where I worked I never could figure out their rhyme or reason. One day I did the batiks so they made sense to me....WRONG thing to do. I think I was right, they thought I was all wrong. It might take a while for you to figure out what works best for you. Best of luck and have fun. Part of my stash in in storage now waiting for me to clear out a closet full of STUFF. I can't wait to get out my stored stash and get to arranging it again. Dealing with the 'stuff/junk' in the closet now is dragging me down.
