I used to be in the same boat of not being able to sew scrappy quilts I liked, but I started doing controlled scrappy because most I make are for cancer patients and buying coordinating fabric got expensive. Here is one that I so love making. Size is 41 x 61. Directions are on b-quilts.com/blog. I made this from one that a friend made, wrote limited instructions and Marjorie at b-quilts posted the instructions on her blog.
