:) That was cute. :thumbup: I don't live in a candy store so my selections are sometimes controlled by what I have. :lol: I did shop lots of the fabrics in the Blue Bargello but some of them I already had here.
Hints? Know where the fabric will fall in the diagram of the quilt. Each fabric needs to play well with the one on either side of it. As an example, fabric #1 doesn't have to blend 'into' fabric #3 unless it touches it in the diagram. Sometimes you just gotta study the pattern, know where a fabric will fall in the quilt and go with your gut feeling. I believe making the beginner bargello blocks are helpful, helps get an idea of how the fabrics fall in a diagram.
If you ever do one you will be addicted.
