I learned to try colors that most say do not go together from my 15 year old granddaughter. We went to a quilt shop to pick fabric for her 1st quilt and she did not want help from me or the store owner. She came to the cutting table with red, pink, purple, lime green, dark blue, mustard, etc... The store owner took out the ones that she felt worked the best together and said lets look for some that will match these 3. I said good idea. My granddaughter pointed to her stash and said I want these. I wish I had a picture of her quilt--because it was one of the most beautiful pieces of art I had seen. Her choices did work together no matter what anyone else thought.
