When you decide to do a quilt and wondering what colors you can use with a certain color you have picked out, you can pick up paint color pamphlets at your local paint store, Lowe's or Menards. My friend had a pile of them today that she had gotten.

I never would have thought of that in a million years until she told me so thought I'd pass it along. :-)

I've used paint chips too and I used to have a Jinny Beyer ring of fabric samples as well.....all great helpers...
I'm really interested in your avatar quilt, is it posted in pictures some place so that I can see the larger version?

i have also seen something like a color wheel, where you chose one color and the contrasting colors are at one window and the coordinating colors are at another...cool idea too!

p.s. i have no clue where you would find something like that!

I have pictures on my photobucket site. Thank you for asking

Great idea!! I wouldn't have thought of it either??? Although I did save a bunch of them years ago but didn't have a clue what I was going to do with them??? DUH! :lol:

Great tip!

A color wheel is a great tool for coordinating colors...they can easily be found at many art stores and office supply stores. I have one I really like that I got at Office Depot.

I just checked out your photobucket pics. All I can say is, "WOW!!!" :shock: You have some beautiful quilts!! :thumbup:

I second the wow! Beautiful quilts.

Thank you for sharing this tip :D:D:D
