Newbie quilter here, and I'm doing the Aby Dolinger BOM making the second quilt I've ever made.
I'm struggling with how to visualize how colors and fabrics will work together, it seems like I end up doing trial and error.
Does this just get better with experience?
I have taken a color theory class and read several books, and it helps to know what contrasting and complementary colors are. But I have no imagination when it comes to making something up from scratch. My attempts look childish and rudimentary.
I found that mocking up a quilt block using snips of fabric on paper helps me see obvious mistakes. See pic below.
I salute those of you who have this uncanny skill!
Any recommendations for getting better at this?
