I love to quilt, I love the whole process of piecing, applique, free motion quilting. But when it comes to picking out the fabric, I'm at a loss.
I did buy one 1/4 yard piece to check the color out in my room, brought it home, didn't like it! On to another shop sometime next week! Argh.

The next time you go,pick out the fabric you want for your focus fabric. That way it'll will be easier to pick out the other fabrics. Just look at the side of the focus fabric you selected. Most of the time there will be dots of colors that are in that focus fabric. If there aren't any dots,just hold other fabrics next to the fabric and you won't have any problem picking your fabrics.
