I've been scrappy for the last 4 or 5 years, in other words if I need red I use the whole spectrum of red.
2 things you can do to help, if you have your gorgeous focus fabric and don't know where to go from there, go to the color dots on the selvedge edge, you can get some great companion color ideas there.
Or, take a swatch of your focus fabric to the big home improvement stores and look at the combinations in the little brochures below the paint samples.
Somewhere people get paid an enormous amount of money to figure this stuff out, and we get the benefit, free!
Speaking solely for myself, quilts with fabric from all one line put me to sleep. They can be very very pretty but they don't have the zing required to make me look twice.
