With that being said, if you're going "scrappy" do you add in neutrals as you go? Or do you start with the specific number you're using from the beginning and for each step use a mix of those? Does that make sense? I'm just thinking that some of the scraps I'm using to start I may run out of before I'm done with neutrals....
On GI last year I started with only what I had in my stash, then as I ran out, I would just get 4-6 half yard cuts and keep going. I ran out and added more several times. You are making part of a block with each step. So adding more fabric in later steps, it will still be spread out over the entire quilt because the new stuff will still be in every block. I loved this freedom. It was my first time working that way and I think it turned out great.
