Hey dont beat yourself up on this one, you live and you learn! I am a guy and just think how the quilt shops tried to take advantage and make fun of me.......... :roll: They laughed me out of their shop when they found out I was going to use a 1910 Singer 27 in a treadle to make my quilt. The owner said something to the effect of "Good luck with that one".
Quilting is supposed to be a nice relaxing experience. Remember this back in the good old days they used what ever fabric they had laying around. Flour sacks, table cloths, old clothing, sheets, etc and they were all different colors and mottled but they did the purpose, kept you warm and with lots of love. So what you need to do now is look around on the board and see a quilt you like and try to make it using the colors that make you happy!
