I love scrappies too, and for a lot of the same reasons as you, deedum!
At work I am a programmer so as you can imagine...lots of precision, lots of rules, lots of details that must be explored, tested, documented...
In my sewing room....sometimes I bring that focus and precision to bear, and other times....it's scrappy funtime!!
Plus I like to buy lots of small pieces of fabric....fabric that I "can't live without" but can't afford the space (or dollars) to buy six yards at a whack. I treat myself to fat quarters and half-yards all the time so I have a huge variety of small pieces of fabric...perfect for scrappy quilts!
Right now my favorite quilt is a scrappy made from the bits and pieces left over from all of the quilts I made as Christmas gifts for my family last year. I love looking at it because each piece makes me think of a specific quilt and the person I made it for. It's like a mental family reunion! LOL
