picking Bargello fabric a pain
I can't believe how much a pain in the arse it was trying to pick out the ten colors for the bargello placemats I'm going to break into Bargello quilts.
I mean it was a pain. I can't believe how hard it was for me. I have a phobia of established patterns in my fabric. I hate using them. I'm more of a tone on tone or marbled print on my fabric (I don't use solids). So today having to pick out patterns was so hard on me it almost made me sick to my stomach.
I have no idea how I'm going to pick out 20 fabrics for the quilt I want to make next. It's going to be the death of me.

No it won't....just means you are pushing yourself way out of your comfort zone. You can do it....just a little bit of your "tone on tone, marbled self" is digging her heels in. Maybe post some pics....you will get plenty of help. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Because I need so much of the fabric I am going to pick up pieces using coupons. So it will be a piece or two a week.
You guys are too funny. I'm talking two to three WEEKS to choose, audition, reject & replace fabrics. ROFLMBO!!!
