@ Paulswalia...ok...I get it...I just went back to connecting threads and looked at their Basics fabrics and it was just like you said...neutrals, solids, and fabrics that had tiny dots, stars, etc. Some are also stripes of varying colors but when you 'squint' or view from a distance it would have a dominant color to it. Thanks...that helped a lot.
Thanks also to those saying to pick a focus fabric and choose colors to go with that. I guess that's what my quilt-shop meant when she said to pick like you would your clothes.
