OK. I haven't been quilting for long, a year or so. I must tell you if you can't afford to shop at the local quilt shop, and not many of us can, then try Hobby Lobby rather than Joanns. Only b/c they keep the fabric lines together for the most part. If something catches your eye, the coordinating fabrics are usually surrounding it. It makes it easy for me as I am not confident in my fabric color choices just yet. Joanns just doesn't keep the coordinates together in my shop.
