Ginger, being totally scrappy doesn't mean you throw good sense to the wind. You keep your values and use lights, med & darks, just like log cabins - the patterns still there but with more colors.

I really hate matchy, matchy, but I don't mind making one color the same or even two - I've done this with a single light, a single dominant color, or another color that suits me. The good thing is you make the choice and that's all that matters. Make yourself happy and don't worry about anyone else. Someone will always love your quilt.

Ginger I apologize if this sounded preachy - was not my intention. I do feel this way but could have said it in a nicer way and not so snarky! Totally not meant that way. If I was speaking to you I'm sure it would have been fine, but sometimes writing makes things harsh, rather than conversation.

I like other people's scrappies but find it very difficult to be uncontrolled so my scrappies are not really scrappies. Just the nature of the beast I guess!
