choose a focus fabric you love and then choose coordinates from the colors in the focus fabric,
get a color wheel...there are free ones available on line you can print. and open bolts up and spread out a yard,,, then add the next one on top of the first so you can see both well together and walk away, come back and look from a few feet away, do they compliment each other or clash?
as you look at magazines, study the different fabrics in the close ups not just the design of the quilt...actually study the fabrics them selves. and look at art work/paintings, see how the colors work together (or not) once you start really looking you will find you know alot more about choosing colors than you thought :thumbup: and BE ADVENTUROUS!!! you really won't know if something will work or not if you are afraid to try it and see....follow your guts, they will seldom steer you wrong :thumbup:
