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),

My question is....who made your SIL the quilt police? You can do whatever you want in YOUR house. I have all sorts of colors and designs for my table toppers in the kitchen. Even though my kitchen is painted like a garden, not all my table toppers are garden theme. I love variety. You should make some ugly color combo and tell her it is for her.
