Are You Scrappy?
#51
I like to paper piece smallish (3-6in) log cabins and "Michigan" string blocks from Quilterscache.com. Narrow strings, anything goes ,plus off white/neutrals to "tame" the blocks. Left over scraps in a box and occasionally sorted by color as
recently for Xmas: reds, neutrals, greens where easily accessible. I do prefer my messy method:dump scraps in a big box as long as they fit in, then reconsider. I'm too stingy to throw anything away!

I can't seem to do scrappy. It weirds me out. I have to much of a controlling nature. I've tried to do a controlled scrappy but even this leaves me with a feeling of unease.....LOL. I have to laugh because I so want to do some scrappy quilts, in particular the Lil' Twister pattern. I have a ton of charm squares but it's taking me more time to design (layout the original squares) then it will to put it together.

I get scrappy when I run out of room in the 2 boxes I have my left over strips and blocks in. I just completed 2 quilts, one queen size log cabin, one 50"x50" 4 patch. Barely made a dent in either box. Oh well, I have 2 weeks off coming up, let's see where I get then.
