I just LOVE all these beautiful quilts, every time I open my mail and see there has been another post to this thread, I hurry over here to see what has been added. Thanks to everyone who has put pictures of their wonderful scrap quilts up. I can't wait to get my sewing room set up and start on one.

These are so fun to look at. I have a couple of scrappies in the works, one is my log cabin that I already posted a picture of in another thread when the top was done, so I'll wait to post it when it's completely done. (lol, just remembered it's the top in my avatar.)
I find it interesting that so many talk about having a hard time relinquishing control and just going with whatever comes out of the sack. I've been called a control freak (more than once, even! lol) but somehow I don't have trouble with letting go of the control in a scrappy, other than to not place the same fabric next to itself, for the most part. And these days it seems that I'm more satisfied with how the scrappies turn out than I am with my planned tops!
