I know that scrap quilts are made from scraps (sometimes I amaze myself ;) , but do you put certain colors in certain areas?
I have seen some scrap quilts that I really love, and the colors don't seem quite right on others.
Need advice and direction.
For a bit more harmony - use colors from only half or 2/3 of the color wheel, but use lots of shades of those colors.
Try just looking at the different colors you want to use before you start sewing random colors together.
An example of this is autumn/thanksgiving colors.
Whites and black and other very dark colors are very tricky to use in most scrappy quilts, they are just too too
contrasty, and can spoil the harmony. Try leaving them out before your final decision.
