What you have is the quilting equivalent of a special jewel --
beautiful and strong enough to stand alone. If somebody handed you a
6 carat emerald you certainly wouldn't be upset that you didn't have a
whole variety of green and cream stones to "go with it".

Auuugh, but that would be the reasonable thing to do. That said, I
simply can't part with my deep mauve accent wall. No ma'am, ain't gonna
