Don't feel bad! One of my friends, who has been quilting for over 30 years just made her first 'brown bag' scrappy quilt! It was a gift from another friend (a kit) & she said it was one of the hardest things she's ever done. She is normally a very "matchy-matchy" kind of quilter & she really did just reach in the bag & use the first one she grabbed...it came out great!!! :D

i'm so happy to find i'm not alone in having this problem. i've tried several times to go scrappy and just let the "chips" fall where they may. HAH!!! Fat Chance!

we should start a support group. Scrap-Challenged Anonymous :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am the same way. With my tie quilt I tried to put color families together. I moved them around a lot and after I took the pictures I saw a few I still wanted to move, but couldn't.

The quilt is just gonna be gorgeous! I haven't tried a "scrappy" quilt yet -- but using one color all the way through it looks really nice and is just a bit more controlled....

It's beaautiful. I love the pattern. What is the name of it? I haven't been able to bring myself to go scrappy yet...maybe someday.

Thank you all so much for "confessing" lol. I'm getting better as the quilt goes on, I just keep adding new colors and dispersing them throughout the quilt - it's been a lot of fun so far. Didn't realize I had so many colors that pop!

The name of the pattern is Jewel Box.

It's beautiful. I confess, my scrappy is slightly planned as well. I can't just grab any color, I have to make sure that no two pieces of fabric the same color are next to each other.
Love you quilt so far!!!
