Lena1952, when I first started making quilts, I never wanted to make a scrappy quilt as I thought it couldn't come out looking any good but just disorganized, just a bunch of fabric thrown together but once I made one of Bonnie Hunter's patterns called Pineapple Blossom out of just a bunch of scraps, my opinion changed drastically. Now I love scrappy or controlled scrappy quilts and I find I make morer scrappy type quilts than any other type. Plus who doesn't have a ton of scraps hiding somewhere in their sewing room? I know I have what seems like a ton of scraps and I just gave away a 13 gallon trash bag plus 2 - 2 gallon size ziplock bags away to our local thrift store and I hadn't even made a dent in my scrap bins.
