This is a great idea... its what I do because I, too, have trouble choosing. There is usually someone who is particularly good at making those fabric choices, and at my LQS, everyone knows who she is! Using collections is the other great idea... the fabrics go together perfectly!

Just remember to have fun. That's what it's all about.
