Scrappy quilts - picking the fabric?

I just made a scrappy quilt top, and like others have mentioned I just watched the tone. I separated fabrics into light or dark and then tried my best not to rearrange them. LOL Having one solid to border everything made me less worried about the different colors and patterns. Hope you have tons of fun.

This is where I have fun with color. I just keep trying fabrics from my scraps together until I am pleased with the combo. Playing with color and design is one of my favorite parts of quilting, the next favorite being watching it all unfold along the way. It is all such a wonder to see how my fabric choices work (or sometimes don't work) in the pattern I've chosen. Feels like play to me :o)
