I love to quilt, I love the whole process of piecing, applique, free motion quilting. But when it comes to picking out the fabric, I'm at a loss.
I did buy one 1/4 yard piece to check the color out in my room, brought it home, didn't like it! On to another shop sometime next week! Argh.
Have you tried using those paint chips cards from the hardware store to help get your colors? Once you find the right one, you take that card to the fabric store & come as close as possible.
