I too was overwhelmed with the decisions on doing a scrappy quilt.
I decided to do my blocks in the same color family.
I made tubes of strips, sliced off a strip, opened it up and added it to another strip from the same tube, but I moved it over by one section. The result was a block portion that looked like it would fit into a trip around the world quilt.
I have purples, blues, greens, reds, pinks, burgandies, blacks, browns, and yellows. I sewed them from dark to light.
Boston - I like your purples - can you explain the method regarding the "tube"? I would love to try it!
