Never met a scrappy quilt I didn't like. When making a truly scrappy quilt I think more in terms of light, medium and dark. For a truly scrappy quilt the color is less important than the values. When its all together it is amazing how all the colors blend. Lately I want to make a scrappy with a limited amount of colors. Since my stash is sorted by colors it will be easy to pick two or three colors with maybe an occasional splash of another to give it spark. Really, you can't go wrong with scrappy. A postage stamp quilt is a good way to get a feel for how the fabrics work together. Also there have been some great scrappys on the Board using a larger pieced block among the smaller squares. If you do a search for "scrappy" there are some beautiful pictures to give you some ideas. Just a couple of thoughts, hope this gets you started. Have fun.
