Carriem I used browns and blues scrappy with the same background fabric as my constant. My DS is a bit finicky with quilts and doesn't like loud colours or florals so a bit hard to make him quilts. His favourite colours is black, but not mine and I find black really hard on the eyes to quilt.
Laundry is all done, floors mopped, kitchen tidied up so I am off to the sewing room, at least until DH gets home from fishing
