My husband used to be a graphic deisgner. He is GREAT at picking out fabric. When I pick out things that aren't quite right, he can tell my WHY they don't work together, i.e.... This one's too green, you need a warmer yellow, etc.
He even helps me pick out my clothes! And he has all kinds of helpful suggestions re: quilt layout, border proportions, etc.
I never realized how lucky I am. Maybe I should loan him out to you all!
