Don't feel bad - you would be surprised how many quilters
have the same problem you do. I have taught many beginning quilters how to make quilts, and the first thing
we do is take a trip to a fabric store so they can pick out
the fabrics for their quilt. I try to use that trip to help them
start to learn what works with what.
Choosing the right fabrics, colors, value, and textures just
happens to be my forte, and it is one of the things I love
to do. But I have seen many a quilter really struggle with
this. It does become easier as you go along, especially
if you can find someone to help you learn what to look for.
If you have a friend, quilting buddy, or even a favorite
quilt shop with someone who does have a knack for this,
ask them to guide you through the choosing of your fabrics
for your next quilt, and I'll bet you get the hang of it soon.
Have a Blessed Day!
