I agree with several others I think it would make a gorgeous scrappy.

Just saw a pattern this morning on allpeoplequilt.com It would be perfect, but I think you would need to piece half the block and use a design wall so you didn't put the same color next to each other. It is called Illusion in Neutrals from American Patchwork December 2009. The link is for a free download of an color option, but you can at least get the idea of how to make it.

I think the pattern would be great in scrappy (much better than with just 3 fabrics) but agree that you need to pay attention to the dark, medium, and lights as used in the pattern. Your wine fabric might work as your 2nd dark, but you only have one light and the rest could be used as mediums. Beautiful fabrics, and that's a nice pattern too.

It's possible. The only thing I'm not sure of is that you only have two darks (the darkest brown and the wine), and they're not as close to each other in either hue or value to give you any "dark continuity" - whereas your mediums are all very similar in value (and not too far off in hue). You'll have good continuity of color/hue in lights and mediums, but not in darks. I think the darks will look like 'splotches' of this and that and you'll lose the overall effect.

If you stuck to using just one of the darks it might work.

Also wondering if you should add one more light in between the gold and the cream to lend just a little more continuity to the lights as well.

But by all means, throw the greens and blues in with the tans in the medium spectrum for the scrappy look that you want. Just not sure if that will be scrappy enough for you.

Good luck - let us know what you do!

I agree as well!

As long as you stick to the right/consistent value in your color choices, then scrappy should look fine. It's similar to a Jacob's Ladder and those work well scrappy too.
