I pick my fav floral fabric because I love florals and that seems to be the majority of my stash, then pick the brightest bright, med and dark color to complement. I also try and pick my favorite colors, but have recently discovered that green works well with just about everything, but there are way too many shades of it! If I have to pick more than 5 colors to a quilt I panic, so I'm not that brave yet. I did however pick up the book "Beyond the Block" - talk about color! This is something I may attempt someday on a small scale.
Another thing I do is look at LIFE mag photos, hot air balloon colors, close-up pics of gardens, seashores, forests. Inspiration is everywhere.
