I agree with Friendly Quilter - when making a quilt for someone else, find out their favorite colors, then go to JoAnn's or you LQS and find a "focus" fabric, which could be flowers, well now I'm at a loss for words. OK, back to the focus fabric, pick one you think they will like, then look at the selvedge edge of the focus fabric - you will see small dots that represent every color used in that fabric. Then find fabrics in those colors, and pick a solid or tone on tone background, and 2 or 3 other fabrics to go with it. Then find a helpful staff member to help you in this process, or, as I have done on occasion, ask another quilter who is in the fabric aisle to help you with the process. Looking at the selvedge color markers can go a long way towards finding coordinating fabrics. It can be done, and it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. Good luck. The members of QB are always there with helpful advice.
