I like to cut a telephone page into the final shape I want. I then sew my scraps onto the shape and then trim along the paper shape and remove paper. I can not do a random scrappy but do a controlled scrappy. I find it helps if I sort them into light and dark piles. I just alternate between the piles but sometimes have to re-select because my OCD won't let me put 2 fabruc next to each other that clash. It is putting colours together that clash that add movement to a scrappy but I just can't do it!
