I do not often read all the posts in a post but I did this one and I had to laugh. I have been told so many of these same things. Many times someone tries to talk me out of my bright colors then wants the quilt when it all gets put togehter. They do not have the same vision that I do. I do think outside the box and not bragging but I have always been able to picture how something would look. As for color wheels, I looked at one and thought it was the most useless thing ever invented for me. If I like it it goes.
Do not ever let someone else pick colors for you or tell you you cannot do something.
