I think this pattern will look great with any collection of scraps. The important thing is the light/dark contrast, and as you can see in the close-up in the link, even that is subject to the occasional exception. If the pieces are small enough (and in this case they are) you can throw any type of fabric into a scrap quilt, including batiks, 30's fabrics, children's fabrics, even solids. When I do scrappy log cabins I don't worry at all about what fabrics I'm using. Afterward, the variety in color and fabric type makes the quilt more interesting (IMHO).
