My avatar quilt is a scrappy, I just picked out fabrics, some I've not used before, remmants and just started cutting up strips. It was for Brother-In-Law and new wife. They loved it. I didn't know what colors she liked or anything about her. They love it. I have yet to see a quilt that isn't pretty. I think all colors look good together. Until a couple of years ago I did nothing but, matchy,matchy I am doing more log cabins and I like that I don't have to worry about matching anymore.
