I definitely have a strong touch of OCD. LOL. That's why throwing up unstead of using the bag technique is the challenge part. It will a while for me to try. I have a customer quilt and 2 other projects to do first.

I am hopeless at scrappy quilts. I try the just grab and sew method but when I put two pieces under the needle that scream " clash" to me, I can't resist reaching for a better match. Good luck!
Which is really too bad because those clashes can really make a scrappy quilt sing.
LOL...I am the same way! I LOVE scrappy quilts but can't do one to save my life. Funny though, when I see someone else's scrappy quilt I can find many "clashing" pieces that I would have never have thought to put next to each other. But looking at their quilt overall, it works. Still can't figure that one out. If I did a scrappy quilt, I would need a fellow Quilter at my side forcing me to sew the clashing pieces together...ha! Hmmm...maybe really committing to do a quilt with the grab and sew method might help me overcome my OCD...could be liberating!!! :-)
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
Me too, can't put two 'uglies' together. but I've had some interesting results! Have fun, don't overthink it (my issue for sure).
Quilting makes me happy!..
Same here. So I think the toss in the air would work better (but I'd probably end up doing a little rearranging).
One step at a time, always forward.
I know what you mean. I have tried scrap quilts a couple of times and it just doesn't work for me. I just really want those pieces to match!! I think I'm just too left-brained... which is why I pretty much stick to traditional quilt blocks... But I love the idea of just tossing them all in the air and let them fall where they may!!

Chaos can be pretty and interesting.
This could be really interesting!!
You can always do what I do....I lay my blocks out on the floor in a pleasing manner, then my Great Dane comes over and rearranges them for me, and that's the way I sew them.
