These are the fabric that my DD and future SIL picked out for their next quilt. I have to laugh a little, because I don't consider it scrappy if you use coordinated fabric. I don't think I've ever made a quilt with a limited number of fabrics. (under 10 different kinds, say).

I grew up with my grandparents quilts that were made out of scraps and meant to be used in cold New England winters. My favorite quilts are still "utility quilts" and I am unable to resist adding fabric even to a matched set like yours.

I am always in awe of those of you who are more disciplined than I. I get bored with the same fabrics and don't finish things. of course, I am just as likely to get bored with a pattern and change it mid-quilt. I am often a challenge to myself. I do love this quilt, though. My daughter wants an oversized queen and I've been mulling how to use my fabric packages.
