I also have never been able to made a scrappy...but am FINALLY starting my first one! Batiks are my favorite fabrics, so thought if I used them, it would be easier on me. I am FORCING myself NOT to match! I am even using scrappy pieces for the light background, and constantly am questioning whether that was the right choice. :roll:
