ah, yes, Mary, 'tis time once again. See you on the 7th!

Teen and WMU I used to agonize over colors on scrappy, now all I try and do is not put 2 colors next to each other that are the same. A friend of mine, years ago, told me to use the paper bag method and it got me over my crazy obsession of picking colors.

Paper bag method Cut all the pieces for one section, say 100 2.5" squares to make 25 4-patch, and put in a bag. (Guess this was back in the bag when we all had paper bags saved. LOL) Random pull to find 4 that are different colors, but don't obsess if you pick a green, a blue, a red and a pink. It will all work out in the end.
