I'm wondering, is it 'proper' to add quilts to your home that don't necessarily 'go' with your color scheme? I'm not talkin' total chaos, but a table runner or coasters and such. Is there some sort of rule that I should be following that I should maybe add at least a color that matches?

I'm curious (and a bit paranoid),

I read an art book once, that was all about keeping art classes in schools. In his forward, the artist/author said something to effect of: "If you think your artwork should match your furniture, may I suggest that you buy a second couch, exactly like the first one, and mount it on the wall above it."
I say that if it doesn't go with anything, then it must go with everything!!! :D
