mine are controlled scrappy. too often I have bought precuts like charms or jelly rolls because I loved them. Then when I go to use them I never bought enough for a king or queen size. So I go ahead any way and use them and add solids and scraps to stretch, and often alternate with a plain muslin block or sashing to pull all the "mess" together. works great, looks great, but I am just covering up for my mistake of miscalcualtion and i never want to over buy expensive pre cuts anyway.
