I'm a sale shopper so it's not often that more than a couple fabrics from the same line are sale table. For me, the creativity goes out the window when I use fabrics all from the same line. Usually start with my focus fabric, and add several colors/patterns that are complementary. Am very careful about the scale of the prints I use as well as the textures. Seldom use solids as I prefer tone-on-tone. My goal is to create a quilt that someone wants to reach out and feel. So I also tear apart my stash, searching for the right pop of color. Taking a quick picture of potential fabrics combinations helps. Amazing how they can look so different on the computer. Plus it gives you a visual reminder when you decide you like the first group of fabrics you picked out!
