Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm glad others are like me! Sadly, I'm an experienced quilter, even a teacher, have been quilting for over twenty years, but steadily for the lat 12. I still hate picking out the fabric!
The staff here was willing to help, and tried, its just me that couldn't make the decisions. Okay, my plan is to take some paint swatches with me next time, I have a full spectrum at home so that's easy to do.
Thanks for all your replies, I enjoyed reading each one!
