This is me -- I have to control the scrappy or I can't do it. My mind cannot handle random -- it craves order. When I say controlled, I mean I organize the colors and decide if I want to use fabrics with light or dark background for the block -- my background is chosen to contrast with the other fabrics (if I use light background, then the background is dark, etc). Even so, I struggle with scrap quilts so I mostly make other kinds of quilts.
