I love your controlled scrappy. It is so pretty with those pretty colors. I am more of a controlled scrappy person too. I think it's just whatever makes one happy when they sew/quilt.

Great quilt. Initially into my adventure with quilting, I had difficulty doing a scrappy quilt, even controlled scrappy had it's difficulties. After making 10 Plus family reunion quilts, where the only "control" I had was usually just a color, I find it easier to "let go" and make scrappy quilts, but it took some time for me to be able to do that.

Thank you for the lovely responses. What an eye opener, as now I understand there are different opinions of what Scrappy is. So, I was planning to make myself complete a totally scrappy quilt that would make me crazy in the process, now I know I'm not going to torture myself....will just have to donate those scraps.

It's a beautiful quilt. I'm a scrap quilter at heart. And I do Bonnie Hunter Quilts. My scraps are now in good order. BUT I also do planned quilts every year as well. AND make the Bonnie Quilts as Leader/Ender's as she suggests. Just throw caution to the wind, pick one of her free patterns and go for it. Just grab and sew.

Love your controlled scrappy quilt. I'm like you, I admire all of the quilts I see on Bonnie Hunter's site and I love her descriptions- but I just can't believe that mine would be so beautiful as hers if I would just let go-not yet, anyway.
