I have a quilter friend who is color blind, and I must say she occasionally makes some interesting selections, but she puts together some fabulous quilts. She laughs about a pair of green pants she made for her father (who was also color blind). He loved them and wore them all the time. Of course they were really orange, and the rest of the family had fits about it. Just ask your friends if you want help, but don't stress over using colors that are unconventional. Sometimes that's just the ticket to wake up a boring quilt.
