Now I realize I did not describe the type of quilt correctly. I know all about scrappy. What I had in mind is making a 40" X 45" table topper 4th of July quilt with 5" squares. When previously making this type/size quilt, I liked limiting the fabrics to only 9 or so. At least that looked best to my eye. THX for all the helpful replies! I can't seem to remove the italics and underline here.....
