    When I started quilting in 1993, I just simply hated scrappy quilts. Now I like them a lot. However, I never have enough fabric left over to make an entire quilt and my other scraps don't match. I know you don't need to match patches, but I have a fobia about matching I guess. All the quilts that I see here, seem to have matching fabrics and so do the magazine quilts and also the quilting book scrappy quilts. This frustrates me since I am very bad at colors. Any suggestions? I do want to work with scraps and make some nice items.

    Nice job on using up the scraps! I hate to throw anything away so I have a basket full of pieces I haven't used but think I might want someday.

    Great scrappy quilts. I like the 1st one especially. I also make scrappy quilts, but never seem to get rid of enough scraps. Why is that?? LOL
