I just recently went through my scraps for the first time. I cut 2-1/2" squares. I am planning on doing a total random scrappy. I might actually put them in a bin and just grab them blindly out. Not sure if I am going to like it or not. Its going to be an adventure
I can say that I found I had a large number of squares that seemed similar and the same values. I separated them. I think I will make 2 quilts. one from the similar values and one with all of the other randoms.
Not really sure about this either... but I think I will enjoy doing the scrappy without any control
If I am disappointed it will be a utility quilt
