    Okay do you want me to tell you my secret to making a scrappy.............A good Long Island Tea and always several pitchers!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I love your quilt but its an organized scrappy and works really well.

    I like the "cut up everything in your stash and go for it" kinda scrappy. I have three I am going to work on when I get a chance after restoring a few sewing machines.

    It's actually very pretty! But I don't like scrappy a lot of times. Some I do.

    If you bought a collection from 1 fabric line, those always need a couple extras thrown in. Because they are all so similar, one fabric line doesn't always look good by itself.

    I really like it too! Love the chocolate and teal together, like the arrangement. Yup, it's all good.

    Did you have to pinch the cat to get that expression?? :lol:

    I'm glad your LQS owner issues these challenges for you!

    I do like the idea of separating into light/med/dark scraps then pulling randomly.

    Enjoy the FMQ practice :)

    Well, this is a problem I TOTALLY understand!!! I'm so OCD that I'd given up on doing anything scrappy. Then last week, i saw a link here that lead to a huge list of adorable pin cushions...hmmmm. Made a few pincushions, and had pretty little crumbs all over my table, so i bit the bullet and sewed them all together. Now, I love scrappy! I'm hoping that this feeling lasts, though...my pincushion is only 4 inches square!! Baby Steps!
