Hi.
I too am making scrappy. I also do I spy quilts so get a lot of remnants. I love it. I can buy a small amount of fabric get a deal and still make the quilts I want. I love your idea of the almost or reading solids, I may have to do that as its hard to find enough colors and things to go with scraps. Its hard for me to match stuff anyway so if I had as you say hand dyed, batiks, or in that line it might be easier. Thank you for the advice. I am going to try it, yahooy, but boy its going to be hard to buy only a 1/2 yard, I tend to go overboard when I find a fabric I really like. I buy most of my fabric in 3 yrd increments. So now am going to have to rethink this out.
