I made a red black and white quilt that was pretty scrappy; my only "controlled" scrappy, actually. I did 9-patch blocks that were "controlled" in that each block was either reds, whites, or blacks, but which pieces made it into the block was not controlled. Then I put the 9-patch blocks together more or less randomly - my only rule there was no two matching blocks could touch. It's actually the first patchwork quilt I made...it's HUGE (120" square) and took me 3 years to get it done because I kept getting intimidated by it, but it's one of my favorite quilts now. Flaws included.
