check out trying to make a few scrappy quilts. you don't need coodernating fabrics to make a scrappy work.....just put those pinks next to that lime green and that rich purple next to that orange. yes, it sounds so wrong but scrappy quilts always turn out wonderful
Bonnie Hunter has a PERFECT website with the most PERFECT directions for the most PERFECT quilts.....trust me, I've made all of them....several times!!

find some quilting friends and split yardage with them or go hog wild with fat quarters. you get a little bit for a little price but then with scrappy quilts, a little goes a long long way!!
