Using random scraps will-nilly can be a little stressful when you are used to having all your fabrics match. The first time I did a random scrappy, I used the "Paper-Bag" method--I took all the scraps, tossed them in a bag, and pulled them out one at a time without looking, except to make sure I did not have the same color next to itself. The whole time, I was skeptical, and was sure the quilt would look horrible. The resulting quilt, however, turned out awesome, and is now my favorite. I now have no trouble at all using random scraps. So, my advice is to just jump in and try it.
