This idea is not my own but worth sharing....
For those of us who have difficulty in choosing the colors for our projects and can't seem to get the right combinations try this.
Go to your local paint store and check out the paint chips and charts. The paint brochures have all types of matches and color coordinate ideas and even some that you would not think of.
The best part is that these helpful tools (paint chips, brochures etc) are free. Love that word! Anyway, I know many of you don't need any help....but just incase someone might....

The last time I had to make a quilt for my DD and DGS I asked them to go to the paint store, pick chips the colors they wanted in their quilt, and mail them to me. From those I then chose prints at the LQS to match the chips. They were amazed how close to the chips I came, I sent the chips back to them with the quilts.
