Most of what I make is gifts for this person or that, I'm always so freaked out if the colors work, will they laugh at my choices. I make a lot for the neices and nephews, with them being so young I can usually pull if off with novelty fabrics for them. But the adults are what worries me.
I don't have any background in art, actually drawing and painting scare me as well. Maybe it's more of a mental block??
That strange. If you really do know the color wheel and why the colors are in those spots then you shouldn't have too much of a problem choosing colors. And just because you don't have a background in art doesn't mean that your quilts are going to turn out bad. Personally, I think quilting is an art in itself so to me you do have a background in art.
