Thanks. Sometimes I second guess myself. Usually after adding the batting and back, I am pleased. Always fun looking for the perfect fabric.

No. I am tone deaf, but have the "color" eye.

Tuesday, I selected a fabric at LQS, and wanted a variety of others to go with it, picked 6. Store has fabric by color, not collection. Got home & 3 were from the focus fabric collection.

I can also "remember colors". Pick out a fabric in a store to match something at home. It does.

No, I seem to have a pretty good eye and I had some art classes. When I get stumped, DH comes to the rescue.

I don't. I just fly by the seat of my pants.

Just my eyes!

I have a color tool and have never used it; it seems to confuse me. I spend hours choosing colors and I am quite happy doing it.

I don't believe there is right or wrong in color choices, if you like the way it looks than it is right for you!!!

Ditto - you may find you get better at it (or more confident with your choices) and then you can discard it.

This is one reason I don like to buy fabric on-line. I like to see it in person. Touch it, feel it, hold it up against other fabrics. Yes, I have ordered on line but only after I have seen it in person or in comes from a coordinating collection.

When I have trouble picking out colors for a quilt what I do if find a fabric with a colorful design that fits the color scheme I am going for. On the selvege, there are dots for the printers, but I use them to track down other fabrics with that color. Sometimes, I don't even use the original fabric.
