Very cute tutorial. like the controlled lol fabrics she chose like they came from a charm pack. of course they match. not so much from my scrap bag. I am going to finish my scrappy happy quilt and make controlled the name of the game.At least to a certain extent. I am finding its easier on my worn out eyes. now to figure out what two fabrics would best accent those blocks I made. easier said than done. like tossing up in the air um that one. how to match unmatched! RHONDA HELP!

Love the controlled scrappy too! I saw this idea for disappearing 9 patch floral quilts. (kindof fun)

I just found this post today. Don't know how I missed it. I love scrap quilts and save almost any size scrap and try to keep them separated by color or theme. I just saw this quilt in an Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine and think it will be my next scrap quilt. I really like yellow so I'm pretty sure the yellow will be my background color, and then just pull scraps randomly to make the half circles. Have really enjoyed reading everyone's comments. Ssnare, I'm going to have to look for that magazine. I have a LOT of 2" blocks sewn together. Maybe they would work.

Elisabrat, I'd use black and white as your 2 other colors because A. you don't like the mixed up colors, B. black and white will "match" anything and are already present in each block, and C. Depending on how the mystery goes, it might well calm the quilt down for you or distract you from the mix of other colors. Good luck with it and have fun.
I prefer controlled scrappy myself. My one attempt at uncontrolled scrappy made a swift shift to controlled and now it's on my bed I think I've posted pictures of it before, and at least this link, but here it is again if you want to see it.....http://www.flickr.com/photos/5800297...7626558897887/

Rhonda- I just wanted to let you know that Vena and I successfully swapped with each other and we both love our new stash of scraps. Thanks for hosing this. I am so excited to have new scraps to work with. Vinae

Another idea for a future swap......swapping scraps by color. Swappers could pair up based on what each one wants to receive. Sometimes I just don't have enough of one color to complete a controlled scrappy project.
