When I think of hues, I think of color saturation as well as the tone ( does the color read light, medium, or dark). The best tip I learned was to take a picture of the fabrics on my smart phone and convert the color picture to black and white. The black and white photo will help identify light from medium from dark fabrics.
The quilt pattern itself is important to consider when picking out fabrics as some patterns maybe more suited for smaller prints rather than larger bold prints. Color placement is equally important. Sometimes I think it's a art to find the most pleasing fabrics lol. I find inspiration in magazine photographs or art books for color play. Enjoy the journey with colors.
