I just go scrappy! Can't pick colors woth beans! Some find it easy, I hate even thinking about it. I love scrappy quilts, and that's usually what I make, no matter the pattern.
I made the mistake of asking 4 expectant moms (one is my granddaughter, the others are great grand nieces) what color/theme they want...I should have just made the quilts & they would get what they get...now, I've had to buy bright pinks and blacks (not my favorites), and my granddaughter wants her baby's dragon quilt in "Foresty, kinda muted" colors...it's for the baby...so there will be two dragon quilts, one to decorate the room, and one for baby Alex!
Colors...here are two dragonfly blocks, one is a sample (colorful), one is in the girl's chosen colors (pastels)...same pattern...and the scrappy one is prettier (I think).

Being a newbie to quilting it can be very intimidating starting and even moving to the next project . I do wonder how all of you choose the colors for your quilts. I find patterns I love but not the colors. I have a very hard time matching new colors that I like. Hard to imagine the new colors in the quilt. Any suggestions would be oh sooo appreciated AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND GUIDANCE KATH
