It took me several years before I could make a "traditional scrappy" quilt, so I can understand your reluctance. However, you could make "controlled" scrappy quilts where you pick from one color range or limit it to "X" number of fabrics. Unless you are making a charm quilt where each fabric piece is different, scrappy can mean anything from 5-10-20 or more scraps - you pick. Just let yourself go, maybe making a baby quilt first - it gets easier with time.
