I
posted last year about a quilt I wanted to make. It's from
this pattern.
I finally decided to make it. I got out all the flannel I had purchased a few years ago at an estate sale and washed it. I have abut 30 fat quarters, plus 25 10X10 squares, all of which are prints.

I pulled out the magazine I had saved with the pattern and looked again. Most all the flannels used in the
sample quilt are solids or read as solids. I thought I'd just have to buy a few solids, but this look will require almost all new fabrics. I have a ton of these prints, which I cannot imagine a use for, and I don't want to buy 10 yards of fabric when I have all this.
Would making this pattern totally scrappy work? I've never made a real scrappy quilt, other than I Spy quilts. Some things are just "too busy" Is this one of those things?
Any suggestions for another pattern? (I don't think this will make a good rag quilt, as it didn't ravel much.)
