Sounds cool. I usually put way to much thought in it. I'have to learn to just go for it.

I just made a scrappy quilt top, and like others have mentioned I just watched the tone. I separated fabrics into light or dark and then tried my best not to rearrange them. LOL Having one solid to border everything made me less worried about the different colors and patterns. Hope you have tons of fun.

I've done both controlled scrappy & whatever is in my scraps.Both work. I like darks beside lighters.Remember, it's your quilt,your choice.

Just grab whatever, however, you can still attempt to coordinate within each individual block. Good luck. Post pics when done!

I incorporate dark and light fabrics.

Is it 10 fabrics for the whole quilt? I would do a "conrolled" scrappy. If it's 10 fabrics per block, then I would just "grab" any thing.

I' m trying to get make ones that are closer to the beautiful ones in the quilt shows. I pick fabrics carefully.

This is where I have fun with color. I just keep trying fabrics from my scraps together until I am pleased with the combo. Playing with color and design is one of my favorite parts of quilting, the next favorite being watching it all unfold along the way. It is all such a wonder to see how my fabric choices work (or sometimes don't work) in the pattern I've chosen. Feels like play to me :o)

Scrappy quilts are fun; both random picking and organized picking work for me. It depends mainly on my mood and the pattern.

It's 10 for the whole quilt.
