if you add rows, you're going to get the "pinks in the center" on every other row. Unless you offset your blocks by 1/2.

I like the second one better- the scrappy one. I ordered those rulers- can't wait to get them!
All your fabrics are pretty- either way it's going to be nice!

I think the pink dominates in this so I like the first one. All I see of the second one is chopped up pink and I don't see the green without really looking for it.

I, too, like the pink. My mind usually goes for distinctive patterns. Everyone has their preferences.

I think I will go with the pink centers. I tried mixing up the different pink fabrics in the centers but that just didn't look right. I am not sure how big this will get but I have the pieces for the next square and more scraps to cut. I thought the darker pink bit on the right would look good but I see by taking this picture, it is too dark to go with the other pinks. This is turning out to be a good way to use up fabric pieces that are not really big enough to do anything else with.[ATTACH=CONFIG]601696[/ATTACH]

This is the set that Jane Quilter sent me for an early Christmas surprise. They are by Creative Grid and the edges have a non slip strip that makes them stay put on the fabric. The cut off dog ears also make the pieces really easy to match up. I am having such fun with them.[ATTACH=CONFIG]601698[/ATTACH]

Don't mean to be a "spoil sport", but I didn't think the actual purpose of the Scrap Crazy rulers was to form patterns, but to use all kinds of scraps. If one wanted to do this, of course, it's fine . . . but I wanted the rulers to make crazy blocks, and I thought that was the purpose. I personally don't care for the pattern.

To each their own. If you look at the colour value of these fabrics, you will see that they have similar value. Unless I wanted a giant blue/green blob, it needed a pop of colour. I watched a couple of videos with the templates and unless you can do a true scrappy (no matching fabrics) you are going to have unfortunate fabric placements. If you want to do scrappy. Go for it.

Tartan, mine came on Saturday but I haven't had a chance to use them yet. I'm excited! I need to watch the videos. Thanks
