As I do mostly scrap quilts, if using white/beige in the quilt, I'll pull all those that are similar in color value if you can even say that about whites. So my quilts will have lots of variety in the texture/design of the fabrics used. Wasn't a fan of scrappy before till I tried one of Bonnie Hunter's patterns. Now that seems to be the only kind I do or I'll take a pattern and make it scrappy.
