Such pretty fabrics. Nice work.:thumbup:

I like your very cheerful quilt.

To answer your question, I often make scrappy quilts from my excessive collection of scraps. Because I like to use 2.5" squares in some of these, I have started to take my scraps from current projects, cut them into the squares and bag them so that they are ready to go when I am. I also have bags of strips. What I do not like is totally random scrappy. I like things to have some sort of order. Sometimes this means using some non-scrap fabric. The quilt only needs to please the maker and the person it goes to. Your quilt, your decision.

Another gorgeous scrappy.

I like scrappy and I like some control. I like yours very much. Even with 'uncontrolled' scrappy there is something to tie it together such as a background color or using one color for significant places so they popped out. Lots of room to explore and use scraps. I hope you enjoyed it enough to make some more.

nice quilt...I love controlled scrappy....I did Bonnie Hunter's Mystery quilt this year but after all the blocks were finished I could not live with the colors mixed together...it was a lot of blocks so I made a quilt with the red/black/grey and it looks nice and is lap size....I have not put together the gold blocks but think it will make a nice lap quilt also...I just need more matchy matchy than Bonnie but she makes great blocks. Next year I will wait for the mystery to be finished before I start...it is a lot of work and I need to pick my own colors...lol...

BEAUTIFUL quilt! Love controlled scrappy too!

I love those fabrics, beautiful quilt!

When you are swimming in scraps you just let go and enjoy the outcome.Yours is great........

I love scrappy's, but I also think they need to be controlled with something consistent, whether it is a color or a neutral. The eye needs rest in a pattern.

I really love the scrappiness of this quilt

Colors just make me want to smile. Very pretty.

What a beautiful quilt :)

What a pretty quilt. Love the happy colors.

I love this quilt. Very cute. Great colors.

congrats on being the quilt of the week on the Home page this week

Love it! Love it! Love it! I didn't know this sort of scrappy has a name. Controlled scrappy is my favorite. Beautiful job!

nice scrappy

I'm also in the group for controlled scrappy. I can't just reach in a paper bag and sew on whatever I draw out. I really like this quilt because the colors form a pattern that employs lights, mediums and darks. Great quilt.

I love them all. Random Scrappy, controlled Scrappy, and Matchy Matchy. The random scrappy, done with darks and lights still needs a place to rest your eyes from all that business and randomness, so it has to be chosen and selected by the quiltmaker. A controlled scrappy offers that option by fabric selection (usually in the form of a "collection") . Matchy, matchy does it automatically , or should I say, by design. Your quilt is a beauty, and would be not matter which scrap method you chose because you have great talent which shines through in your work. Congrats on such lovely work!

I like all scrappy quilts and yours is awesome.

Congratulations!

I love your quilt, such pretty colours. I am getting ready to make a quilt with a group called 'Moda Blockheads' . It will be my first attempt at scrappy quilting. I am looking forward to it. Thank you for sharing your work.

Super.
