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 love picking colors. There are many books out there that will help you learn the values of color and show you how to use the color wheel. There is an item called the Ruby Beholder that you look through to help you see how your fabrics work together.

Don't give up....it is so rewarding to learn the process!
