Default A totally off-the-wall question: How to get past "boring" neutrals & solids?

First the disclaimer: I'm not ADD; I just can't stand "boring."

I see so many GORGEOUS, STUNNING works here, and wonder if any of you actually get bored while piecing whites, neutrals, solids, etc.

I have yet to start my first "real" quilt (by that I mean after studying so I do it RIGHT and not "winging it" like I did with my first 2), but I found that just putting a solid color backing on bored me to death.

My issue is how do I get past this "fear of the boring and uninteresting"...because it is these solid background colors, borders and edges-of-blocks that make the most LOVELY quilts!

Am I destined to have a room full of UFOs?
