I love scrappy quilts and I have this one in progress. It's the same design as Patches and Pinwheels from quiltville.com but in a bigger size. Same as the one DebraK posted but in more muted colors. I'm using my stash for everything except borders.

I have a book by Lynn Roddy Brown called Simple Strategies for Scrap Quilts and I have found it helpful in learning to rely on value rather than color for a scrappy quilt. The one in the photo is from her book. This is about half of it...will be queen size when it gets borders, etc. It's been fun to piece but I used the Triangulations pdf file for the half-square triangles as those are always a challenge for me.

Scrappy based on values rather than colors
