I am fairly new as well,, but what I have found to work for me is,, when I choose the fabric,, I choose one way outside my comfy zone, one in the middle and one I normally would choose. Then what I do is I put the one I would norally choose back,, and then concentrate on the other 2. And I have seen it has gotten easier.
Another thing is,, take someone else, that does nto quilt,, or,, ask a random person in the store. Sometimes, a stranger may choose one you do not think of,, but when you get it together it works.
One more,, (then Im done,,lol) choose maybe 1/2 yrd of a few,, go home and play around with the colors... and you will be surpised what you normally would choose compared to another,, you may choose the second,,lol..
Hope this helps!!! :-D
