Okay so I am a pattern designer and a quilting teacher. I teach a color theory class. I love picking out fabrics. I love designing quilts. I love the complete process. I also have a very arty daughter. She will come over and pull fabric from my stash for my projects. I trust her choices. She is a graph design artist. She is making sculpted cakes and they are awesome, see Jennylu's on FB. She has a degree in Art. All that being said I do occasionally second guess my decisions. Feeling comfortable in the correct choices is very important. I feel first impression is usually the correct one. Go with your gut! But most of all Enjoy the process! Remember we are artists and our medium is fabric!
