This is weird....but I actually go out and buy fabric for a scrappy quilt! Just how crazy is that?

The only time I use uncontrolled scraps is with a string quilt. It just seems everything goes, but for all else I like to control my selections......

Depends on the mood. Sometimes, random colors, other times I plan the design.

I tend to be more of a controlled scrappy quilter now. When I first started quilting, everything had to match, be a certain colorways, certain fabrics, etc. I find that I'm now more interested in doing more scrappy projects than I used to be.

I'm a totally grab and go scrappy person. When it's all done, it's fun and vibrant and, oddly enough, goes well.

I haven't learned to make anything scrappy yet. The coordinating of color types, etc. just isn't there. So, I guess I am a controlled scrap person...

Put me in the controlled scrappy group. I am a lover of anything bonnie Hunter, but I tone my things down. I did Bonnies Ocean Waves and made a box full of 1/2 square triangles - little ones. I love how triangulations does 1/2 squares, but I would end up with too many alike so I cut the papers in thirds. I've got enough to do another quilt one of these days.

I've done it both ways. I just made sure that I didn't use the same color too close to its twin. I never liked scrappy in the past till I tried one of Bonnie Hunter's pattern.........Pineapple Blossom. I fell in love with scrappy ever since. Made the totally scrappy one 1st then a controlled scrappy later. Love them both. My avatar is the controlled scrappy in reds, blacks, silver and white.

I use a controlled scrappy approach. I can't handle the idea of grabbing a scrap from a bag and using it regardless of how it looks. I use scraps often, but I choose them. Sometimes I even put them on my design wall. Scrappy can be beautiful.

I guess I'm a control freak. When using many different fabrics I like to at least see some kind of order.
