Another thank you to Tallchick for the link. Love the muted tones and color combinations. Got it bookmarked.

TYSM for all the ideas. I ended up using two partial jelly rolls to sew up pinwheels and square in a square blocks. Now to sort all the left over jelly rolls strips by color to make choosing colors for the next quilt. Wish me luck...lol

I'm a scrappy quilter, more often than not. You do have to pay attention to "value" in the fabric (how dark or light they are). Its the play of value that can make or break a quilt.

Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color has a great book called "The Quilter's Field Guide to Color".

Quilter's Field Guide to Color

Jinny Beyer also has a color theory book that is more user-friendly than most.
