Six quilts from the rack--5 scrappy--1 r/w quilt
So I did a quick survey. 12 scrappy quilts, 4 controlled color. Flimsies waiting, 15 scrappy, 2 controlled! Get my calculator out......82% of the time it's a scrappy project. Only 12% of my projects are controlled. I issued a challenge for the year, and I haven't started it myself! Do you remember it?

And remember when I challenged you to "get out of your rut"? I picked a fabric I probably would NEVER choose.
It's a peachy pink coral--not a color I would EVER choose. And the coordinating fabric is brown and gold with the coral in it. Not a speck of green!
I love this fabric. Why do I find it so hard to start that quilt? And I need to have it done by the end of the year!

i think my quilt percentages are just about the opposite of yours, and it's the scrappy ones that i'm putting off till last to do! if i get every quilt made that i have planned i will wind up with lots of scraps, but fortunately i have some patterns designed just for scrappy quilts, so i think i'll be ok.
my quilting runs in *waves*...like i might make a lot of rwb then 2 color then controlled then scrappy...i guess i make certain types of quits then when i gt bored~I move on :)
If I don't like the quilt it becomes a UFO and I have a really hard time getting back to it.
I am finishing all my UFOs (2 more to go) and I will not start a quilt that I don't love. Life is too short.
That being said I love modern fabrics used in traditional patterns sometimes made wonky.
I do lots of scrappy too!
Currently I am going through a scrappy phase. I like both. I am trying to use up some of my stash, therefore scrappy wins at the moment.
I like scrappy too - do you need a bribe to start on that quilt? Chocolate?
My favorite type of quilt is scrappy too! I really enjoy working on the paper bag type of scrap quilt where you pull your next piece of fabric randomly from a paper bag--unless you have just used that fabric, you must use it and can't put it back.
oh I love those colors!!
I dunno if I have a favorite thing....I tend to be "given" quilt ideas as whole entities...I've never done a scrappy quilt. Maybe I should try one....Lord knows I have enough scraps!!
