trail mix
Has anyone made the Trail Mix quilt? I am thinking about it, printed off the free pattern from All People Quilt website, but I am having trouble with picking scrap fabric. Was wondering if those who have made it used fabric of one color group and really mixed it up with any and all colors? Would love to see what fabrics you chose.

Love this scrappy pattern! Thanks for posting as it was new to me. I checked out pictures of it in Jewel Colors, Purple/Green mix, Blues but I like this one that is quite scrappy with lots of colors: http://forum.apqs.com/index.php?/top...-she-loves-it/

Just saw one at a recent show and tell. She used civil war fabric scraps. Browns & muted colors (reds, greens, golds mostly) with light to medium tans. Beautiful. she said you needed a design wall to keep the blocks in the correct order, although the pattern is so busy, you wouldn't notice if something was shifted.
