Great post! Another thing people fuss a lot about is that they try to exactly match colors in each fabric. The colors don't need to match...they just need to blend nicely. Don't be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone. I had one that looked to me like pea soup. It was the only one I could find that went with the rest of my fabrics. It turned out gorgeous and no longer looked like pea soup to me! Don't be afraid to experiment!
