What would YOU do?

My sewing spree continues!  I finished putting my blue & white chevron quilt top together, and now it just needs sandwiching and quilting.  I have a recipient in mind, so I think I'll do that right away.
The colors look awful in this photo!  I guess that's what I get for taking photos near midnight.
I've also got most of the HSTs made and cut for my new Carpenter's Wheel quilt - I just need to do some pressing and squaring up.  One block is up on the design wall (not yet sewn together), and while I like it, I'm not sure I can see doing the whole quilt with just those 8 prints and the white.  I'd love feedback - will this work, or should I introduce more fabrics and give in to my scrappy nature?  What would YOU do?
Only 8 prints and white - not sure I can do a whole quilt like this...

I am a scrapper, so I lean toward adding more fabric play - but that's just me. Both pieces are lovely.

My motto is more is better. I'd add more fabrics, but I think it will also look nice if you don't.

I lean towards scrappy...I love your carpenter's wheel block! Nice chevrons too...

I really like it how it is, but I like scrappy too. i love the blues in your chevron quilt.

I'm no help at all. I like it either way. I tend to be a planned scrappy.I usually have something already in my mind going in. May not turn out the same though. Love your blues!

Love the chevrons! Nothing like scrappy, go for it!
