I agree! Most staff at LQS will be very willing to help you. Just do not be afraid to say "Thanks is not what I had in mind" if you do not like the fabric they choose. They will not be offended. After a while you will become more comfortable about choosing fabric. I still second guess myself about fabric choices even after about 5 yrs of quilting and many more of sewing. Just GO FOR IT!!!!!
I agree with all..focus fabric then fill in. I take my pattern with me and ask lqs employees to help me. They like getting involved! And I can't stress big sisters advice... If you don't like what they pull out tell them no you don't like it. I used to be intimidated by their expertise...I have a whole quilt that I hated from the beginning that has never been finished. I keep it as a reminder to speak up!
