When I began quilting, I wanted all my fabrics in the same colorway, matching, etc., etc. Then I had this "brilliant" idea of making a family reunion quilt with family colors. The first quilt had green, purple, black, blue, teal, red, and yellow fabrics At the previous reunion 2 years before, my brother and SIL suggested that each family (original siblings) pick a color and wear t-shirts that color so that my uncle from CA, who had never attended before could tell who belonged to whom. The tradition still goes on, so I received fabrics in those colors and being a little OCD, decided that each color block would represent the siblings and their children. I had 7 blocks of green, however, I used the album block pattern and somehow it all worked out beautifully, as I added one block for our parents. I did this for 2 reunion quilts, did I say I can be a little OCD, then picked red/white/blue, blue, red, black (a beautiful black and white log cabin), etc. and this year the quilt is purple and white. I have found that any block will do, some had special meaning, like "Farmer's Daughter", made in memory of my sister who had recently passed away, basket blocks, whatever, and I have overcome my matchy/matchy quilts and making these scrappy quilts took me outside my comfort zone, but I think it has made me a better quilter. I would check through quilt magazines, quilterscache.com, etc., pick a block and go for it, I think you will be more than happy with your quilt.
