I have to admit that I've done the same--intermingled planned, colorful pretty quilts along with the scrappy. I, like you, only want to do so many before I actually work with fabrics and designs that I choose...
But I'm almost ready to try to make another couple of these as I do have a bag of 1.5" strips again...when I'm in the mood to sew and don't have a real plan...I can just sew strips together.
Oh, and I don't spend much time watching tv. Sometimes people exclaim how much time it all takes....but you have so much more time if you don't spend a couple hours every day watching tv. It can add up fast. Same for the internet!
