I think it is amazing how the most unlikely of scraps can end up looking fabulous when they are all sewn together. When I did my fading charms quilt in my avatar I started out by pairing like colors together and then along the way these like colors got matched with everything else and it turned out great. Sometimes the sashing and borders will help to pull it all together as the white in the fading charms does. I love looking at all the squares in this quilt and seeing what catches my eye.
