Then she had me look at the other colors in the fabric ... green, pink, yellow, and we went and pulled those colors. You just have to remember to look at the color and block out the print. Keep trying ... soon you will have a blast. Just pick a fabric with lots of colors to start. In the beginning I couldn't image pairing bright blue, bright red, deep yellow, and medium green but that's what I used in a block I made over the weekend. Bottom line is have fun!

I had someone do that when I made my first quilt - problem was I love Oriental fabrics & picked a fabric with white & black Cranes flying among gree trees - I sued it as my quilt backing- When I got the quilt done, I hated it. It is laying on the back of my sofa with the crane fabric side up.
I get really nervous about trying to pick out colors for quilts
- which is probably why I have so many UFO's
