I've studied "quilting" on the internet, read books and magazines, asked questions, and done practice blocks till I'm blue in the face. I only came to realize recently that I'm short in the creativity area and seem to be pretty bad at recognizing how colors and patterns go together. When I look at color charts I can see how one would compliment another but then find that that's not necessarily a good combination for a particular quilt. HELP!!
When choosing fabrics, I have found my digital camera is a great tool. I take photos of different fabric combinations, then review the photos to see how they look. This helps me a great deal. I have found that an actual camera works better than a phone camera.
