I am glad you are stearing me tward small prints as then I did 3 colors I used prints and love it. My mom says you HAVE to have a solid!!! but she is OLD SCHOOL!! 90 years young.
Sometimes a solid will work, or if the quilt is ONLY solids like Amish quilts. I will sometimes use a solid as a small border(for a framing effect) or for binding. It really depends on what other fabrics one is using and the pattern. Many of the 1930-50's type quilts use solids, so that's probably why your mother says that;>
