I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether the background for the pattern"Tree Lot" by CozyQuilt (links below) could be done in scrappy neutrals. It's designed to use a jelly roll for the trees (I'm using a Holiday in the Pines
http://www.hollyhillquiltshoppe.com/...idayInThePines jelly roll for the trees, sashing and binding) and a constant background. Not sure about border yet, I love some of the fabrics in this line and might go with one of them, but rarely have I done a quilt from one line of fabric - I'm a scrappy girl!
As each bough of the trees is made from a strip of jelly roll and a strip of background, it'd be easy enough to use strips from several neutrals... How do you think it'd look if I used scrappy neutrals in place of the constant background? I'd stay with neutrals that are off white/light cream. Would it be too distracting? I'm just not used to so much white space, lol. My quilt's generally have lots and lots of fabrics, and use small pieces - I don't know of anything, other than my avatar, that has had such large expanses of one fabric.
