I love scrappy quilts too! I especially like the more "crazy" or "wonky" styles - they help me see the beauty in randomness. (I tend to try to make everything very uniform, straight, perfect, regular, patterned....I have a tough time doing "wonky".) They're always my favorites at quilt shows - so much to look at! Love, love, love 'em...but haven't made one myself yet!

Right now I'm saving up scraps from all the quilts I'm making this year. I'm slicing them down to strips 6.5" long and in random widths - when I'm done with all the quilts I have planned out for the year (I'm making almost a dozen quilts, for Christmas presents) I plan on making myself one last "year end" quilt with all the scraps from all these quilts. It'll be a bizarre mix of colors and patterns but I think I'll get a kick out of it and it'll be a nice reminder of a whole year of work!

I couldn't quite bring myself to use wonky cuts though...I'll get there some day!! LOL
