I don't know how to mix two prints. I can pick fabrics I like, but I can't mix them up. I've tried light, medium, dark, but then is one a solid, one a small print and one a big print. Do you see the problem?
I'm with you. They call me "Two Color Quilter" in guild. I started taking a friend that has an art degree when I want to buy fabric or pic out of my stash. If she picks it out I can do at least 5 colors in 1 quilt.
