Also look at scale. You just have to toss it down and start arranging and not worry too much about "matching"
Now I would not put a black and white poka dot in a woodland group of fabrics........don't sweat it. Stand back and take your glasses off if you wear them. Does any place stand out.....or if you don't wear glasses, then stand back and squint......Am I making my point?

Or use a Ruby Beholder. It's red plexi-glass that allows you to see fabric by value, not by color. It is really helpful.
