then have two or three bags. One for each type design - smallm medium, large, light, dark etc and pull from each bag and sew sew sew. randomness is the key to scrapy quilts.

I LOVE it!!! That would be a wonderful way of meeting in the middle. Since it will be so big (60x80 squares) I have a feeling the sheer size will work everything out.

I just Know what ever you decide its just going to be Wonderful
Have fun thats whats its all about...!!!

A scrappy quilt should be scrappy meaning the planning doesn't have to be in it like a traditional pattern. I say just randomly toss out squares and see what turns up. I have great quilt book with a few good examples to share on that subject

Has anyone ever made an APPLE CORE quilt here?
I am tiring of cutting out over 600-800 of them.
Any recommendations for this pattern are appreciated.

Separate them between lights, darks and mediums. Then try to come up with a design fitting to the size blocks.

Thank you for the chuckle!! But, it is a very good description of what I do. I will only put a fabric back if it's going to be next to itself. Otherwise, anything goes.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Sometimes it is the unexpected or ugly (tension) that creates excitement. I am a controlling scrappy quilter too, but I have one top that I just let it fly, and the setting helped to control things. If you used all fabrics that you love, then the quilt will tend to have a stronger pull in one thematic or color direction. Also try editing before sewing Spread out the blocks and allow yourself to pull out and replace the top 10 offenders that just don't seem to work with the rest. Just some thoughts.

I like the way you put this. Pulling out the top 10 offenders is a good way to fix the few that will always bother you if you don't.
