Let me share my wonderful experience. I also have neutral walls for the express purpose of being able to add color in whatever way I want. Currently my room has burgandy curtains and when my husband died last Oct. a friend quickly took her scraps and sewed them together to make a single piece of cloth, then cut them in blocks. The blocks are sewn with sashing of different colors & the prominant color front and back seems to be yellow - a color I would never have used myself - but I LOVE the quilt for many reasons. A second friend made me a quilt that is predominantly brown and green - again, colors I would not haven choosen but again, I LOVE the quilt. When a quilter quilts they put so much L-O-V-E into the quilt or quilted item - so why not enjoy that special love ... it is truly a wonderful gift to yourself. Some people can't think out of the box - but you are learning to express yourself and that's wonderful.
