Oh, I suspect colors and patterns do say something about us. What a wonderful research project for some fabric arts/psychology PhD. to work on. I love scrappy but I find that I also am drawn to putting some particular colors together. I am part of an exchange group on the Board and I MADE myself use the pieces in a totally random manner in my quilt. It really does look nice but since I still had many, many more pieces to us. I fell into making blocks that were of similar colors. I like this too. Within a 16 patch block are pieces that are all tones and patterns but they are all in the red family for instance. For me this is more comfortable. I guess this would make me an organized scrappy person! It's me and that is just right!.... for me. Wish I had the time to be that researcher, but I don't. I am to busy teaching!!
