As others have said, try controlled scrappy. I am making one of Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip Around the World quilts. I started with a fat 1/8th pack and added more from my stash. I am also using the same fabric in all blocks for the center diagonal. It only has about 15 fabrics, and some are of the "ugly" variety or a bigger print that makes the small squares have more variety and the look is a very scrappy quilt. Will post a pic in a new thread when I get it together.
