I've found that I spend more time trying to keep a "controlled" scrappy quilt looking good than just about any other type. Usually after doing one or two I need something that I don't have to worry about what goes where - usually something not scrappy!
I hope to get to working on the next part this weekend. I'm finishing up a few Christmas quilts and then I'm planning on only working on what I've got in progress until they are done. Mostly this one and the BH mystery, and I have a totally scrappy one in progress to work on in between clues if I need more sewing time.
