I don't see many that include just every color of every type of print and wondering w/ all the work involved, if I'm going to even like it! I've got a lot of time in cutting the units and only a little sewing - I'm using up to 4-5 of same print and thinking that may be too many for a "scrappy"? well, as you can see i'm confused and yes, i know its "my" quilt but i'm looking to hear what you strive for (if anything) ..such as guidelines for a happy end product.
I do mostly scrappy and am normally pleased with the outcome. I literally use what I grab for the most part, not caring if it's civil war, 30's retro or modern. Used more scraps for the keyboard ends to make it a bit longer. This is a good example.
