My quilting group is putting together a quilt for one of our members that has been ill. The quilt is done with everyones orphan blocks so they are all different colors. I prefer colors of the same hue but this quilt is very pretty and scrappy looking. The recepient will love it. Like has been said before it is your quilt you can do what you like.

I have made many sampler quilts with a large aray of fabrics that compliment each other and also samplers that are in the same colorway. I think the most important thing if you want to use from your stash is to make sure your fabric choices play well together and you have enough of each for all the blocks your doing.

This would be my choice if all of the blocks do not lend themselves to the same fabrics. Please be sure to post pictures as you go along... I'm interested in seeing it.

Thanks everybody. I think I'll go find a white on white for the background and pick other pieces from there. But I have other quilts to finish before I even start this one, my brain has just been turning this one over and over. I'm now thinking of how neat brights would look against the white which would mean that the fabric won't be coming from my stash...gonna have to think some more

"DITTO" I have been using primarily fabrics from my stash and I have taken 2nd place TWICE in the quilt contests. I normally pick a main print and then I audition various fabrics to see what looks good with it. Remember to have FUN while you are making your quilt. GOOD LUCK !!!
