Search google for scrap quilts, and go from there. Just because they fall under the Scrap unbrella doesn't mean they can't be elegant and beautiful.
I could not agree more. I made a quilt from greens and tried to make sure my greens all "went together", and that quilt was quite flat and boring. Made another quilt with greens, this time used ALL my greens: yellow greens, blueish greens, grayish greens, forest greens, sage greens, and kelly greens, and that quilt is a stunner and gets tons of compliments.
