Learning how to make good color choices is often the hardest part of quilting for me. I like to watch what other people buy and will often ask why they chose that piece of fabric. It is also fun to go to a quilt shop, pick out a fun piece of fabric and then figure out what other fabrics I would put with it. You don't have to buy anything -- it's just getting a lesson in what works and what doesn't work. I've gotten better at choosing fabric and it is now one of my favorite things to do.
