I agree with Amma. I have found that fear (of not getting the colors "right", etc.) can be paralizing (sp?). Since I am color challenged, my cure is to do scrap quilts 'cause I only have to know the difference between light and dark. Works for me - and it's so rewarding to turn little dibs and dabs of fabric into a gorgeous quilt. I think the most important thing is to have fun. So just jump in and have a blast!
