Sewsoft, I think that if you explained that you are color-blind peoples attitude would immediately change and they would stumble over each other to help! I can not do big quilts either. The biggest one I have done so far is "Ashleas Quilt" (in my albums) and I ended up hand quilting it because I could not manage it on my machine. I will get there but I will be patient with myself. All Good things take time. Also, I just did my 1st rag quilt and that was so much fun!!!! So you might consider that too. I hope you can find a BFF to help you out!
