I like both and have seen beautiful scrappies of both. I do tend to more do controlled. The FWS 30's I have worked on had as many as 50 some pieces in a 6" block, though I know of at least one block in the bunch that has 84 pieces to sew together using paper piecing to complete the 6" block. I have learned so much doing these though. I have slowed down to finish a few other things, and some life issues, but working on another block as I type.
