In a scrappy, what's to "match"? Your quilt is lovely!

Love it! That's the thing about reds, they don't seem to go together up close but from a distance they are wonderful. Good job.

I think it looks wonderful. Red is the hardest color to match. It is usually better (and a lot easier) to just go with the differences. They usually end up blending anyway! I think you have just the right amount of white to balance all the reds.

this is a great looking quilt. Just to pass on some color mixing knowledge I received long ago....all reds will go together if you add in some orange-red in the mix and all greens will go together if you add some yellow-green into the mix. It seems yellow is a magic color that helps to blend and to sparkle up a mix of colors in any composition.
