if you can sort your scraps into lights/mediums/darks you can create fabulous quilts with a huge hodge-podge of variety that will work well. i've mixed homspuns, novelties, flannels, batiks--- an assortment of themes in the same quilt and been quite happy with the outcome...often it does not matter what the print is on a fabric-what matters is the value (light/medium/dark) placement.
