After making my Yellow Brick Road quilt I agree with you that I prefer a more structured design and layout. The quilt is designed for using up a lot of fat quarters and does rely on scrappiness and randomness in the making of it. I grew bored making mine as there was so little challenge to it. I also disliked the fact that the pattern instructions only showed you how to cut your fat quarter rather than providing a chart showing how many of each patch to cut so that you could use yardage if you didn't have suitable fat quarters. I spent some time studying the pattern and got it figured out but I've avoided patterns dedicated only to fat quarters since that experience.
