Picking fabric for quilts are very difficult for me also. It's a labor of love. I love fabric and the wonderful patterns and colors, but to pick 4 or 5 out for a quilt is difficult. I agree with cashs_mom , laying out the fabrics and look at them for a while & take picture in black and white. I also ask people.... local quilt shop, friends, QB, & I've actually asked total strangers in quilt shops for their opinion. Haha. I think I'm getting better with time. Hang in there.
