Colors don't matter to me as I painted the walls in bedroom a beautiful medium gray and everything looks good in there. Hey, it's my house and I do what I like and have never had a quilt I couldn't use. Now going to paint my living and dining room the same colors so I can display more quilted items. I realize that some quilts don't match color schemes but so be it. If I'm making a special quilt for someone I try to find out what the color scheme is and go from thee. I love scrap quilts.
