Default Scrapy quilt folks question

Today I feel like I hit the scraps jackpot. I responded to an ad on Craigslist for a couple of boxes of quilting scraps as someone was cleaning out a storage area. I picked them up after work today, spent the last couple of hours going through boxes and picked out three fabrics I like the best. The rest I plan to give away on the Board. This person was clearly mass producing some craft item as she has the fabric in stacks with cuts all the way through multiple layers. The result is that though they are scraps, there is lots of each print. My question is - would people prefer to get an assortment (stacks) of different fabrics or multiple pieces of several of the same fabrics? I have a bias towards things matching so I definitely fall into the later category but I've never done a scrapy quilt. My sense from the amount of many of the designs is that there is enough to combine & make other quilts too that are not scrapy. What does everyone think?
