My Idea of a Scrapy quilt is just that Scrapy. But I do encourage to put a light and dark color side by side .. make 4 patches or 9 patches... you will be surprised as to what a wonderful quilt you will have in the end.. just a suggestion...

I know this is going to sound bad, but i was told i was "scrappy retarded" I like scrappy but I like controlled scrappy.
The best I found ot make myself do a more truely scrappy top is to throw it in a bag and just start pulling out squares.

YOu can do controlled scrappy. I did a scrappy 9 patch. As long as the two fabrics in the 9 patch went together then all was right with the world. Once I got all of those unmatching 9 patches together that is when I just threw them together. It is awsome.

quilting is a form of relaxation, or cheap therapy if you will. the end result will ALWAYS look good to someone, if not you. do not stress over the scrappy look too much. and i agree with lots on here that pull two out randomly and just go with it. if the two pieces are similar colors, pick another. it is VERY free-ing and will loosen you up for the next time. definetly try it. and have fun.
