I have been cutting colorful strips for a scrappy quilt for DH’s fifteen year old grandson and I am using a medium gray for the background and sashing. The pattern is from Amanda Nyberg’s book No Scrap Left Behind. I think gray can be used with all sorts of colors as long as they are not florals. I typically use a variety of blues, teal, and gray/charcoal.
