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've always been taught to do the 'proper' thing whatever it may be. Even my high school Home Economics teacher pounded in to our brain to match colors, schemes, etc. So, I find it hard to think outside the box. I have a round dining room table that I'd like to make a topper for, but I'm stymied by the fact that I don't know what color or theme I should use, simply because I think I need to. Are the 'quilting police' around? I hope they didn't hear me talking. :|
