I say go to scrappy mystery train here on the board. Check out what all of us did using scraps, not knowing what the end result would be. Oodles of quilts that are all different. Scrappy is grand but some themes work better together. No neons with country plaids stuff like that.. I found throwing it all in a bag and grabbing it out gave me heart trouble. I did not like random use anything scrappy. I do like similar color tones. All blues cranberries greens fine. No bright yellows and as said before trucks thrown in. Its up to the quilter. The binding and sashing if you chose do play well into making a harmonious quilt. another great trick is to say throw a blender square or such in each block of the same color tones. I did one with a green or a blue blender in each 9 patch. It tied it all together and also used that blender as my border. 9 fabrics each block, one the same.. unity
