On most of the sites I go to like Thousands of Bolts and Connecting Threads the fabrics can be listed by color such as pink then all the pinks are shown, but not fabrics that would be good playmates. When I'm at a fabric store, I'll chose a fabric and then spend an hour walking up and down the rows of fabric trying to find those that would work well with it. It's a major and slow job for me. Buying online is a mystery to me. Hope you can advise me.
