I've just finished my first two scrappies. Can't say it is easy for me. Seemed like more work, pulling out fabric and trying hard not to worry about how it all would come out. Found I was really over thinking each and every fabric choice. Guess I tend to do "controlled scrappy". That being said, there was enormous satisfaction from both that I haven't experienced from other quilts made. These two quilts seem to have more warmth, heart and soul in them. Maybe it's the memory thing, looking at certain fabric and remembering where you got it, or from whom you received it. Perhaps it's a mini history of other quilts you made before it.
