I think Deb Watkins summed it up perfectly when she said, "... scrappy messes with my OCD mind". I recently completed a sampler done in 1930 repro prints. I used Irish chain setting blocks and a piano key border. It drove me nuts! I spent weeks worrying about the setting blocks and borders before I was able to start. THEN I had to TRY to put some order into it, and I agonized some more. Everyone in my quilting group says it's very pretty, but I am not at all fond of it! Will post pics when the quilting and binding are done.
