the best part of scrappy quilts is nothing AND everything go together..It's nice to have a balance of lights, mediums, and darks in there, but mostly it's the random placing of the scraps that really adds to the character of the quilt, so be daring, go ahead, put a hot pink next to an olive green, put teal next to red, etc... the more opposites the better, that's why it's called a scrappy... :roll: :lol:
