haha, thankyou magicmoonmusings....the colours are a bit washed out in the photo...more vibrant in "real life" but by the time I had finished it I was well and truly sick of it so I gave it to my daughter. Now, every time I visit her and see it on her couch I think "hmmm, not so bad after all....I wonder if I can ask for it back"!
Seriously, though, I was also thinking "wow!" when I saw your quilt. I like all the vivid scrappies more than I would if it were only two colors. I admire people with the discipline to use only two, but so far I have not succeeded . That would be a great challenge (maybe a bore?) Maybe I could do two colors, but certainly would feel creatively pinched to use just two fabrics over and over, block after block.
As long as you have a stark contrasting solid background, I would think a controlled scrappy would look fab.

I made a Jacobs ladder using 5 inch squares, very easy math the hst wind up 4 1/2 inch and your four patch winds up the same measurement. Now of course you can also make them any size you want but since the thread is about charm squares. Absolutely doable!
