I found that my biggest challenge to date is fabric selection. I am "color challenged" and have a difficult time choosing fabrics that coordinate and compliment each other. Terms such as "warm and cool" "lights, darks, and medium" just confound me. Going to my LQS leaves me baffled, as most of their fabrics are sorted by color, not by collection, and if I find a blue I love, then I have to go to other sections of the store for complimenting fabrics. More often than not, when I get home and look at the fabrics under a different light, I'm not happy with my choices.
So to overcome, I try to stick to pre-cut fabric collections, whether that be jelly rolls, layer cakes or fat quarter bundles. I love that MSQ also shows on their website suggestions for coordinating fabrics. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
When that fails me, I have been known to email my sister a copy of the pattern and pictures of my fabric choices, and she has never failed me in helping me to find the perfect coordinating fabric that I need.
So what's your challenge?
