[quote=grammy Dwynn]Picking colors for me, is fun. (I guess I was in the correct line :) )
Another thing that can help you, those colored dots/numbers that are in the selvage. Use them to help you choose your color(s). Line up your choices, stand back 5 feet or greater and SQUINT (or remove your glasses). The squinting helps you see just the colors and not the prints.

I love finding fabrics that have those colored dots. Wish they all did.
Another helpful way of looking at your work is through a peephole device from the hardware store (designed to check out visitors before you open the door). I saw that hint on Simply Quilts one time, and it's a good one for anyone whose sewing room is smaller than a basketball court. Also, I have a red cellophane values finder, which was another suggestion I saw on Simply Quilts years ago. I don't know if they're still being sold, but it does help you decide if there's enough contrast among your fabrics. If you can't get one of those, you can take a digital picture and change it to gray scale on your computer. That will reveal the levels of contrast, both of color and pattern variations.
