Hello Friends! I hope you have had a good weekend. Last Monday, I announced the release of Harrisonburg pattern to exclusively benefit the Virginia Quilt Museum, as well as the upcoming quiltalong hosted by Pat Sloan that will be happen on February 14!
In case you missed it, the announcement post is HERE should you want to read and get caught up.
Pat and I are super excited about this adventure! Of course, you will want to watch Pat’s videos on YouTube for tips and tricks in making the Harrisonburg blocks.
THANK YOU, and THANK YOU for your warm responses so far! I heard that the museum had sold many patterns. Thank you for helping Pat Sloan and myself help the museum.
Pattern in PDF is available NOW by clicking HERE.
The printed patterns are making their way to the museum. Give the museum a few days to update their website.
This design lends itself to all sorts of color combinations! I am doing mine just random scrappy, using just useable fabric pieces of blues and cream.
If you want a more controlled scrappy look, my pattern gives yardages for a total of 18 fabrics sorted into 6 fabric sets. Each fabric set makes 5 blocks, for a total of 30 blocks from the 6 fabric sets. And the leftovers will be used to make the diamond-in-square units for the border.
Pat is doing hers in the controlled scrapy layout with her Sleepover fabrics.
Info for Sleepover fabrics is HERE
GIVEAWAY — Benartex is generously giving away a kit to make the quilt in the above colorway for my followers. That’s quite a bit of fabric! Between now and 6pm on 1/29/2023, leave a comment AND TELL ME IF YOU ARE A RANDOM SCRAPPY OR CONTROLLED SCRAPPY PERSON to enter the giveaway. US ADDRESSES ONLY! Winner will be announced on 1/30/2023.

I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I have a hard time with going totally scrappy.
I’m a random scrappy quilter.
I am a random scrappy person. Sometimes the fabric just falls where it is and it turns out fine. Thank you!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I appreciate some order to my scrappiness.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Totally scrappy for this one because I have a lot of blue and cream scraps. All versions are so pretty.
I have an antique quilt from my grandmother. Unfortunately, it is shredded and coming apart. She only made utilitarian quilts. But I cherish it anyway.

Thank you
I am a controlled scrappy person, I need to make more quilts with them!! Thx.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter and I love those sleepover fabrics!
For this quilt, I am thinking scrappy using blues and yellows to remember Ukraine. Should be fun!
What a beautiful quilt you’ve made again Wendy! I’m trying to finish up my Norfolk Sampler and would love to make this beautiful Harrisonburg quilt next. I’m both a wild scrappy and restrained scrappy quilter so it’s hard to choose which design I’d prefer. But this morning I’m feeling more restrained and would choose the controlled scrappy look. Thank you for the offer!!
I am more of a controlled scrappy person but I did do a quilt where I just randomly added. It is very freeing and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Scrappy blue and yellow for Ukraine!
Thank you very much!
I am a controlled scrappy person. I love the quilt.
I’m a controlled scrappy person, but am working on being more random in some projects.
Definitely controlled scrappy for me!
I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I tend to be a more controlled scrappy quilter. Though I have gone totally scrappy a few times
I am a random scrappy, but I do pay attention to keep too many from the same color getting too close together. I am swooning over Harrisonburg but have way too many irons in my fire to start something new. I probably will succumb….
Definitely controlled scrappy
Mostly controlled scrappy
Controlled scrappy most of the time!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy. Even if I try to be just scrappy I’m just switching out things.
I try to go controlled scrappy, but often it ends up random!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter for the most part. I love this pattern; it’s all printed up and ready to go!
I like the controlled scrappy look.
My preference is for the controlled scrappy look, but I aspire to be comfortable with a completely random scrappy quilt!
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy person but I can like how random scrappy works in this design.
I am a controlled scrappy, but when I quilted in the 90’s (before taking a hiatus) , I guess you could say I was random everything because we didn’t have a lot of choices or larger fabrics lines. You would pick things you liked and go!
Thank you for the opportunity. Love your patterns. Have many in my to-do piles.
Love you patterns Wendy! I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I either work with a specific fabric line or from many lines by a specific fabric designer. My only true scrappy quilts are with 1800’s reproduction fabric. I collect them so I have a large selection to choose from.
Hi Wendy, I am a controlled scrappy quilter. Thanks to Benartex for the possibility to win this fabric.
I really like the controlled scrappy look, but I aspire to be comfortable with a completely random scrappy quilt!
Wendy
The pattern is amazing -I purchased a PDF right after reading your post. I have been looking for a random scrappy project to hit my overwhelming heap and love the look of the vintage quilt. I too plan to use my blue and cream scraps ,as those heaps are the tallest. Thanks so much for this opportunity to help the museum with the purchase of your excellently written pattern.
I am more of a controlled scrappy person! I have ONE long term project that all the random scrappy bits go in, a string quilt.
J prefer a controlled scappy, but like to use up scraps! I love this pattern
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. Wish I could be more random – then maybe that scrap bin wouldn’t be so overflowing!
I go both ways depending on the fabric in my stash and the pattern I’m working on. I do love scrappy either way. Thank you for this giveaway.
I am a controlled scrappy person, for sure!
I try to be random-scrappy but if I pull a second red or green etc to go next to the first red or green etc, I have to find another color. So I guess I’m more controlled-random scrappy! Really looking forward to this project.
Random scrappy, it matters pattern, sometime controlled by color wave, but I do love scrappy quilts
I love the different variations you shared with us for the Harrisonburg quilt! I love scrappy but I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
I prefer a controlled scrappy quilt. I really like the pattern and look forward to sewing along. Thank you!
This is a gorgeous pattern and certainly for a wonderful cause! I am probably more of a controlled scrappy quilter😊 someday I will be organized enough to get my scraps organized by colors and then just “dig in and grab” what I need. Thank you for the chance to win this!💕
I am a random scrappy quilter!
I am a random Scrappy Quilter!
I am random scrappy. I start out controlled, but before it is all said and done I have crossed over to random. I am looking forward to this QAL! I fell in love with your blue and white blocks when you were posting them on Instagram months ago.
I am a very random scrappy quilter but on occasion I do like to do a controlled scrappy quilt too. The pattern is just beautiful. I can’t wait to start on this quilt. Thank you, Pat Sloan, Aurifil, Benartex, and the Virginia Quilt Museum.
I’m a controlled scrappy for this particular quilt. Sew pretty! Thank you.
I think I am a controlled scrappy quilter. Makes it easier for me to layout and set up quilt. Love this new pattern!
Hi Wendy,
First time to your site! I love the info. Thank you and Pat for so much quilting fun. I am still learning if I’m a scrappy or controlled quilter. I do need things to go together but enjoy pulling from all my scraps. I dont buy too many kits with all the fabrics I’ve been given over the years. Must use what I have. I love to see antique quilts but don’t own any currently. This one looks life a fun pattern to try. Thank you for sharing with us. I’ll definitely be book marking this site with so much information and fun to look at doing. Happy quilting.
I am more a controlled scrappy quilter. I prefer some colors more than others.
I believe controlled scrappy is more my style!
I do both controlled and everything depending on the project. I always have a few everything scrappy WIPS going to use it all up. Currently, I have log cabins, strip rectangles and four patch blocks in my everything goes WIPS. In my controlled scrappy I have a long term Triple Irish Chain with a Twist WIP.
I am a controlled scrappy kind of person.
Ii am a controlled scrappy fan. In general, scrappy scares me, so controlled keeps that fear at bay.
I am such a controlled scrappy person and sometimes I drive myself nuts rearranging the scraps!
Controlled scrappy here!
Random scrappy! Thanks for the giveaway😊
Most definitely controlled scrappy! I have to limit the chaos in my brain!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy gal. Trying to work on being more “free”, but I am a work in progress.
I love scrappy of any kind, but tend to be more of a controlled type when making my quilting projects. I’m loving this pattern and Pat’s fabric collection!
I used to be only a controlled scrappy quilter, but have found the joy of wild and crazy! I’m an “all of the above” quilter.
I love random scrappy quilts. Thanks for the chance to win this great prize.
I am best with controlled scrappy.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Definitely, random scrappy….the only way my brain works.
I am a controlled scrappy but really want to be random. I am doing the scrappy spoons SAL right now and trying to go with my scraps instead of starting with a fabric bundle.
I am usually a controlled scrappy.
I like a controlled scrappy. Whenever I just use what is in my bin, the result seems less lively. I don’t know if it is because my scraps are too random because I make quilts for other people so my scraps are really all over the place.
I’ve just started quilting so I’m controlled scrappy.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy type, haven’t got the confidence to just do scrappy.
I’m mostly in the controlled scrappy camp….although, I have made a few completely random scrappy quilts and I love them too!
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy! I always need a bit of cohesion in my fabric choices.
I often do random scrappy, but I’m considered a controlled approach to this pattern.
I am a controlled scrappy. Most of my leftover fabric is larger pieces and used for appliqué, so I don’t have a lot small scraps like most do.
Hi, I tend to be a more controlled scrappy quilter. Though I have gone scrappy a few times ! Thanks for sharing!
I am a random scrappy…thank you for this opportunity.
I would call myself a controlled scrappy quilter. I work from yardage, not actual scraps, and I cut strips of many fabrics (often batiks) to then subcut my pieces from.
I am a controlled scrappy but just finished my first random “totally” scrappy quilt. The only thing that tied these fabrics together was color. I just grabbed and sewed and it turned out great. Went a lot faster too. I already have my pattern and now deciding what fabric line to use.
Beautiful color way! I would say I am a controlled scrapper 😂. Thank you!
I am a controlled scrappy person. I love working with the colors. It make me Happy.
I’ve been an extremely random scrappy quilter but I’m trying to learn control for the future.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter!! I try to be random but it just doesn’t work for me!!
Oh to be a scrappy quilter!!!! As much as I try I always end up matchy patchy…..think it comes from the years – and years ago – I fashioned my clothes including tailoring suits and coats. Always wanted fabrics that “went” together. Maybe some day I’ll get beyond that!
I prefer controlled scrappy. Like you, I could make this from my blue stash alone.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. Random scrappy makes my brain hurt.
I’m a controlled scrappy as I’m always worried it won’t look good if I get too wild!
Definitely controlled scrappy. Love this quilt!
I might be in the controlled scrappy side of things. Depending on what I’m making at the time!
Ooooh – can I be both? LOL! There are times random scrappiness works wonderfully but yet there are times also like it to be a little more controlled. Scraps are a beautiful thing!
I think I am both random scrappy and controlled scrappy, depending on the quilt pattern. I do prefer some kind of theme, so I guess I lean towards controlled. It keeps my brain from freezing up! LOL
You are correct that fabric is gorgeous. I’m on the random scrappy team. Nothing is controlled in my life😁
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter! I always love the scrappy qal best!
I do both random and controlled scrappy quilts. It just depends on the project. I am thinking totally random on this quilt to use up scraps.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I like the scrappy look one can achieve by using a single line of fabric. Harrisonburg would be beautiful in Pat’s new line of fabric. Crossing my fingers!
I’m totally scrappy! I enjoy making them for charity quilts. Your patterns are beautiful. I would love to make your pattern! Thank you for the opportunity,
I am a controlled scrappy quilter
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I have to balance the color and patterns to please my eye. Love fabric s
With very strong administrative and organizational skills, I am most definitely controlled scrappy! Just ask my friends! LOL
I have tried random scrappy blocks, but I feel better when I use a controlled scrappy guideline.
I am controlled scrappy. I love to make quilts to give to my shut ins from church. I give most of my quilts away to friends and family. My daughter in love gets most of them.
I used to be random, but now I am controlled scrappy.💖
I am definitely a controlled scrappy kind of a quilter!
Controlled scrappy. Fantastic pattern!
I am a controlled scrappy person, with hints of random when I am brave

Love the looks of scrappy quilts but have never made one but on my bucket list
Totally random scrappy all the way for me.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I am not comfortable with random scrappy quilting as I’m afraid it won’t look good. That’s definitely a quirk I need to get past.
I definitely am a controlled scrappy quilt maker! I’m too organized to be able to do it any other way!!
I prefer controlled scrappy. Tried random a few times. I purchased a scrappy quilt from the 20’s and I like it.
I am a random scrappy person with a touch of order. I have my VQM pattern and look forward to doing this one.
Love the pattern! I am for sure controlled scrappy!

I think I tend toward controlled scrappy.
I am an organized controlled scrapper.
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter
I just purchased the Harrisonburg pattern, I’m really looking forward to this. I’m a controlled scrappy kind of girl and will be doing that style with this quilt. I have many scrappy quilts with a lot of color, and I love them all but controlled just feels good to me. Can’t wait to get started!
I have lot’s of scraps, and they need organizing. But I haven’t made any quilts with them yet. But I will soon. My color is blue. I really like the quilt you made with the blues.
Definitely controlled scrappy. But I do admire completely scrappy quilts, just too stressful for me. Great quilt.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy.
I love all scrappy quilts and I have done both – controlled scrappy and everything goes in!

I am not sure when I will make this, or what colors, but I’m excited to join. I’m more controlled scrappy.
I try soooo hard to be a random scrappy quilter … I even tried the paper bag thing … pulling out pieces two at a time …. However when all is said and done I think I am really a controlled scrappy quilter … ;)
I am random scrappy because I want to use every beautiful fabric I see.
I am now a controlled scrappy quilt maker. I made one random scrap quilt and it is kind of jarring to see, so I could never gift it to anyone. I plan ahead now when making scrappy quilts.
I make both kinds of quilts, but I have better results when I go with controlled scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I plan and plan my colors and throw something in as well.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy gal. Trying to work on being more random but it is too hard for my brain.

Dear Wendy, I forgot to add I am a controlled scrappy quilter because I love the way the quilt look when they are finished. Roxy in Hudson, WI
I am a controlled scrappy person. I love scrap quilts that the colors have a similar hue.
I am a controlled scrappy person
I am a controlled scrappy quilter until something goes wrong or doesn’t look right and I quickly become a random scrappy quilter.
Oh to be a scrappy quilter!!…. I try but am too matchy patchy. I think it comes from doing fashion sewing many years ago when it was important that “this goes with that”. A habit hard to brel
I would consider myself a controlled scrappy quilter. I try to get away from being so controlled but I’m still learning. My goal though has been to use up scraps but seems like there is always a fabric that catches my eye. I’m enjoying learning .
I like controlled scrappy. I enjoy quilts that have something to tie them together.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. When I have tried not to be I don’t like the outcome.
I like random scrappy.
I am both, I call myself a Controlled Random Scrappy Quilter, and Happy little mistakes are always welcomed, Thank you.
I tend to be a controlled scrappy quilter. I overthink things when I try to be more random
I love both controlled and random scrap quilts. By nature, I am very controlled in my approach, but the more random quilts are wonderful!
Just as in life, I am a controlled scrapper!
I have only done a few random scrappy quilts but love them. Some day I hope to make a controlled scrappy quilt.
I am a controlled scrappy person. I need the colors to not clash to enjoy looking at it.
I guess I’m random scrappy, because I like to use scraps from all sorts of fabric lines, but I do like to add a little order to the chaos.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy person. I love them all but working with the fabric, I like having the controll. :P
I think I’m controlled scrappy. I struggle with just “scrappy” because I try so hard to make it scrappy. If a piece is too like the previous piece, or too close to another piece I’ll move it around. It’s so much work to make a scrappy quilt. :-)
I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter. I love you pattern!
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. The pattern is very pretty. It’ll look great in so many different fabrics.
I do both random and controlled scrappy quilts.
I am trying very hard to be a random scrappy quilter but occasionally sneak back to controlled

I am definitely random scrappy. The more fabric, the better.
I have made 2 scrappy quilts. One was controlled and the other was random. Ixenddd liking the random quilt better

Random scrappy quilter all the way!
Can’t wait for the quilt along. I’ve downloaded the pdf, waiting on the background I ordered to come and I’m good to go!
Love all scrappy. Probably more of controlled scrappy for the most part.
I guess I’m both a random and a controlled scrappy quilter, depends on the “look” I’m going for. Love Pat’s fabrics!
I love to do random scrappy quilts!
I am definitely a Random Scrapper. My biggest problem with my quilting is that I am OCD ! I have to set a timer and make myself quit for the day. (I cut out, appliquéd and quilted my grandson’s first twin-size quilt in 3 days! No, I didn’t cook or sleep very much!)
I guess I do both scrappy, planned & random. With string quilts they are definitely random , but I would really like to do a controlled scrappy string quilt. I have now found a fun new website!
I am pretty much a controlled scrappy quilter. Except when it comes to patterns with the 16 patch squares – then I get out a container and start pulling and sewing. Otherwise, I drive myself crazy trying to pick and choose.
I prefer doing a controlled scrappy quilt, but have found that sometimes doing a truly scrappy project turns out better than I might have imagined.
I think I’m a little of both, random and controlled. It depends on the pattern. For this pattern it will be a controlled scrappy.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy person! This is a beautiful quilt!
I would say I am more of a controlled quilter, though maybe some day I will do a scrappy quilt.
Hmm, that’s a good question, I guess I am mostly random with a touch of control.
Definitely controlled scrappy. Beautiful scrappy blue version that you made!
I am a controlled scrappy person . This one would be beautiful.
Random scrappy❤️
I would say that I am a random, controlled scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I like order, even with scraps :-)
In the past I was a totally random scrappy quilter. However, in recent years I have discovered fat quarter bundles and now am addicted to controlled scraps with those beautiful bundles!
I’d like to think I am a controlled scrappy quilter but it all looks pretty random by the time I am finished!
I am a random scrappy person…always question my judgement until the quilt is finished then I’m in love.
I am a combination of both. I start out being random then I end up trying to control things.
I tend to do random scrappy as I’m trying to use up scraps from my stash.
Controlled scrappy (and even that is hard, but I’m ok with it if I can control the colors.)
I tend to be a controlled scrappy quilter but would like to be more of a random scrappy quilter.
I’m a controlled scrappy person! Random scrappy gives me anxiety…
I tend toward controlled scrappy but love all scrappy quilts! I love fabric!
Controlled Scrappy all the way!
I’m a controlled scrappy person.
Controlled scrappy for this one. So pretty!!!
Controlled scrappy
This pattern is beautiful! I am a random scrappy… I might swap or switch pieces around because I do like to make sure the colors contrast.
I would be controlled scrappy. Might try the other sometime. Lol
I like to think I’m all wild and free and random scrappy but to be honest I’m truly controlled scrappy and like to keep color families and patterns harmonious.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter, so fun to coordinate all the leftovers
I would love to be a random scrappy quilter but my brain won’t let me. Someday I’m really gonna try 😆
Controlled scrappy here and I LOVE those fabrics.
Absolutely controlled scrappy. I admire people who can be random, but that’s just never gonna happen with me!
Hi, I started ouf as a random scrappy quilter but as of late find myself controlling my scrappiness.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter but wishing I could throw caution to the wind!
Controlled scrappy—balance is everything!
Controls scrappy all the way!!
I am DEFINITELY a controlled scrappy quilter!…..and I do love scrap quilts. In the past I tried the “pulling a piece out of a bag” for a log cabin and I hated it after only a few blocks. I like to have an idea of a palette even with scrap quilts. The Harrisonburg pattern is lovely…well done, Wendy!
So much interest in a scrappy quilt. Like them with a little control.
Any goes scrappy quilt for me
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. What a beautiful quilt. ❤️❤️
I’m pretty much a random scrappy person, but even with a fabric line I tend to add solids or tone-on-tones from my stash.
It all depends on what I’m making whether I’m controlled scrappy or random scrappy. I love it ALL🙌🙌.
Definitely a controlled scrappy person. I have even done “Scrappy QALs” using a fabric collection I really liked. The problem arose when I ran out of the fabric, having only 10″ squares and a few fat Qs! LOL
Hi well I’m odd person out. No control. This pattern is beautiful.
Thank you
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I have not been happy with the times I ventured out into the random quilting. As an interesting fact, my 8th GGF was Isaiah Harrison who came to America in 1687 and settled in VA in the early 1700’s with many of his children (7 sons and 3 daughters). Harrisonburg was founded by and named after my family.
Those are such pretty fabrics. I love scrappy quilts, but I am definitely a controlled scrappy type person. It’s the perfectionist in me. I often wish I wasn’t as I’d love to try improv quilts.
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I certainly do appreciate the look of the totally scrappy quilts I’ve seen. I’ll be interested to see the various interpretations of this beautiful pattern so I’ll be following along on this one.
Is it scrappy if you plan it? I’m definitely a random scrapper!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter but I have the desire to “go crazy” and be random…one day!
Totally a controlled scrappy quilter. I like too much control to do random. Maybe one day!
Controlled scrappy. I try to go crazy scrappy and a little OCD always shows up! Another beautiful pattern!😍
Hi there. I can‘t be do random. Definitely controlled scrappy. Thanks for that awesome chance .
Controlled scrappy for me.
controlled scrappy is more my style.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Controlled scrappy!
I think I am more of a random scrappy quilter. Thanks for the chance!
What a gorgeous pattern Wendy! And the fabrics are beautiful! I think I am more controlled scrappy– I will toss a scrap if it looks ‘off’ in the mix. LOL
I am a random scrappy quilter, I just let it roll when I am making a scrappy quilt. It is just fun. I love the pattern.
Actually, I think I am both random & controlled scrappy quilter! Just depends on the day! I really love your pattern, plan to make it.
I am more of a controlled scrappy person.
I am not a really scrappy quilt person, it has to be a little conrolled.
I am a random scrappy kind of gal!
Being relatively new to quilting I am a controlled scrappy quilter as my scrap collection is not that big, though I am working on it.
Controlled scrappy, I try really hard to be random but I just can’t let go of the control.
I’d love to be a random scrappy, but OCD gets me every time and I end up controlled scrappy. This is a great quilt and giveaway. Thanks to Benaryex and Aurifil
I am a controlled scrappy quilter as I don’t have a lot of scraps. Thank you!
I am a controlled scrappy person

I’m both a random and controlled scrappy person. Just depends on how I’m feeling at the time.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter but I love everything I see. Your projects are an inspiration.

I am a controlled scrappy quilter but I love everything. Your projects are an inspiration.
I’m a random scrappy quilter. Every so often depending on the person who will get it, I end up with a controlled scrappy top. Your pattern is awesome!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter, but I am always open to trying something new.
I’m not sure my other comment went through but here goes again. I like both, controlled and scrappy. I made a scrappy quilt for my great niece and she took a nap on it. I think she loved it!!!
Iam more of a random scrappy person.
I love random scrappy, but usually make controlled scrappy projects.
Totally scrappy for me. The more fabrics the merrier.
I prefer planned scrappy over random scrappy.
I’m a controlled scrap quilter. Love the random look but can’t keep the scraps around to do that.
I would say I’m a totally controlled scrappy person. I just need to organize the fabric and colors.
I do both random and controlled scrappy quilts, depending on the project. This Harrisonburg design would be good for either approach, I think.
:) Linda
I do both, random and controlled scrappy quilts. Been trying to get my fabric arranged on shelving.
I think I’m more controlled scrappy, I have to have like certain colors for the the most part or even on fabric that shows up in most blocks.
I usually am random scrappy but sometimes will do more controlled for some patterns.
Controlled scrappy for sure!
Controlled Scrappy, I have a hard time doing completely random scrappy
I lean towards Random scrappy It’s all fun!
BTW Whenever I see that a pattern is designed or written by you, Wendy, I am confident that it will be well-written! Thanks for your eye to detail.
Controlled scrappy for me!
I love your scrappy blues! I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I’m currently making 3 different blue scrappy quilts. My favorite is my blue crumb quilt. My pieces richochet all over the blocks (which are random sizes). Thanks for the opportunity to win!
The random or controlled scrappy decision is based on the quilt pattern 😂
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I love your scrappy blues in this one!!
I am a controller scrappy quilter. I love your scrappy blues in this one! Beautiful!!
I am scrappy. Not very controlled. A pattern holds me in control
Hi there. I am trying to be scrappy. I think I am controlled I believe so far . Love the blues and creams.
I love this pattern. I am definitely a random scrappy kind of person but I want to make this pattern using just scrappy pinks and reds or using scrappy red, white, and blue
I am a random scrappy quilter. I love scrappy quilts. I love your blue and cream quilt.
I am a random scrappy person.
Definitely a controlled scrappy girl. I love the look of scrappy, but want to be in control of my colors and placement.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter.
I recently discovered I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I have done several random scrap quilts. The fabrics are still with purpose. I have never purchased a kit and would love to win the giveaway to have a controlled scrappy looking quilt.
I am definitely controlled, but I really want to try a random scrappy quilt.
I would say I’m more of a “controlled” scrappy quilter. Not super controlled though. Lol.
I have made and like both, so I can’t say one more than the other!
I am a random scrappy quilter. They are my favorites!
I have not made a quilt yet, but I think I’d like a more controlled scrappy.
While I love both random and controlled scrappy I usually end up over thinking things and end up being a controlled scrappy quilter.
Most of my scrappy quilts have been controlled scrappy, but hope to make some more random scrppy quilts in the near future.
Everything I do is scrappy, but a controlled scrappy, with whatever speaks to me at the time!
Hello Wendy! I am a controlled scrappy quilter because I prefer to work with color themes. Thanks for supporting the museum. I’m excited to start the sew-a-long!
I love scrappy quilts and have done both very scrappy and controlled scrappy. This one will be controlled scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter because I don’t have much of a stash (yet).
I’m probably more of a controlled scrappy person. I try to be random, but tend to pick & choose more. Love scrappy quilts!
I’ve mainly sewed with panels since I started quilting. I think I’ll become a controlled scraper. I need a bit of order and control. I think I’ll try random to see how I do. We will see
I appreciate everyone’s scrappy quilts, but I can’t seem to let my self go with some controls.
I am controlled scrappy person. I especially like it when someone is helping me be scrappy quilter.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy person! Love the museum pattern!
I am both – love random scrappy and controlled. Love this blue and white. Great pattern!
I am a “controlled” random scrappy quilter. I can do random, but keep an eye out to not have 2 of the same fabric next to each other, or too many of one colorway in one spot. The Pattern and the fabric are lovely!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter, too ‘type A” to let it all go haha!
I love any kind of scrappy quilts! I do both controlled and random scrappy…depends on the mood! Can’t wait to do this SAL with you guys.
I am a controlled scraper but have uncontrolled on my “to do” list :)
I guess I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. My scrappy quilts tend to come from a single fabric line or at least the same designer. If I mix designers, the colors blend well, and I won’t put two similar prints or colors next to each other. I’m definitely not a “put the pieces in a paper bag, pull one out, and use it” kind of quilter.
I’m much more comfortable with controlled scrappy.
I am controlled scrappy when I make scrap quilt projects.
Most often, I’m a random scrappy quilter. But there are times when I just have to control the colors too.
I prefer controlled scrappy if I’m sewing it. But, I love the look of uncontrolled scrappy. I’m just not confident enough to do it myself. Love this quilt and it for such a good cause!,
I think I am random scrappy most of the time but can be controlled scrappy when forced! :-) I am currently in the situation where I am more forced to be controlled since we are living in an apartment in a different state than where all of my scraps and stash are. I brought some projects and am stealing from those to make scrappy quilts. It is a challenge! I like having the freedom to add whatever I want to make it work. I love the Harrisonburg quilt design and all the fabric choices so far to make it in!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter,
Scrappy is definitely my style (because that is what I usually have but I tend to be a bit controlled scrappy 🙂
I am a random scrappy type. No control for me.
I am a random scrappy type.

I like random scrappy but that can have mixed results. Sometimes wonderful, sometimes not so good.

I am a random scrappy quilter.
I am a random scrappy quilter – I take it one block at a time and enjoy every piece of fabric I choose to use!

I am a random scrappy quilter. It makes me happy to go through my scraps and remember what I used each fabric for and then repurpose the scraps for something new.
I’ve been sorting scraps by color and size and find it’s easier to use them! I do love the random look of antique quilts and this is a perfect pattern to make. I’m encouraging my stitch group to join me.
I keep random scraps but sometime do seem to have some control when I put them together. I have always had a love for scrap quilts!
I am working on being a random scrappy person but I prefer to control the colors some.

I am a controlled scrappy. My eyes cross whenever I see random scrapes! Love this pattern.
I like both random and controlled scrappy…I think for this QAL I will go “random” but all 1930’s fabrics…so I guess that’s where the “controlled” comes in!
Definitely a random scrappy person. I just pull out the bin and start sewing!
I love making scrappy quilts. Right now I’m working on one in the “Sweater Weather” book and another called Dots. Both are scrappy.
I am in the “controlled scrappy” camp. This is a beautiful quilt! My daughter lived in Harrisonburg while going to JMU, and I would love to make this for her!
Controlled scrappy – one that looks random!
I am a controlled scrappy person. Even when I am using random fabric I need to control what goes where.
I am a random scrappy quilter just like I live my life. It’s an adventure.
Beautiful quilt! I am a controlled scrappy person. Some fabrics just don’t go next to each other! I once did a random scrappy quilt and had to pull fabrics from a paper bag and sew them so I could have it truly random. I still look at that quilt and want to rearrange it, lol!
Controlled scrappy 😁
I am a controlled scrappy person. Random is just too …..random😃
Love, love, love this pattern & hope to someday visit the museum since I’m not too far away in Pennsylvania. I am definitely a controlled scrappy person.. I’ve “tried” scrappy scrappy, & my brain just cannot do it.
I’m loving the Virginia Museum quilt. I would like to say I am a random scrappy quilter, but unfortunately my sense of organization always steps in and I find I become a controlled scrappy piecer.🪡🧵
I try to be ramdom but will vary into a controlled scrappy person.
I would describe myself as a control scrappy quilter. I like using fabric lines so the pieces coordinate.

I am controlled scrappy, I am attempting some random at the moment, but my brain keeps pushing it towards controlled.

Thank you for recreating this pattern. I plan to use the planned scrappy fabric style
I tend to do controlled scrappy quilts.
I am a controlled scrappy person.
Controlled scrappy for sure!
i am a little bit of both. Depending on the pattern and what I have for scraps makes the decision as to whether to go controlled or random.
i guess I am a little bit of each. the pattern and what I have for scraps governs the way I go.
So far I am a controlled scrappy person but I hope one day I can be a random scrappy. I love the look of randomness!!
I am most definitely a controlled scrappy.

Wish I could be more scrappy, but just can’t let go of the control I guess! Lol

Controlled scrappy, at least at this point – maybe I’ll loosen up one day!
I love controlled scrappy quilts
Controlled scrappy for me!
I would love to master true “scrappy”.. but until then, controlled is for me :D
Definitely a controlled scrappy girl!
I’ve done both random scrappy (draw scrap from a bag) and controlled scrappy – these days mine are a little curated (controlled)!
I try to be a controlled scrappy quilter, but always end up scrappy, but I don’t mind, because each scrap fabric reminds me of all the quilts I have sewn over the years.
I am probably more controlled scrappy but do like the random scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy girl all the way!
I really want to get to be any sort of a scrappy quilter! I’m so controlled that I’d for sure be considered controlled scrappy if I could manage scrappy at all. I have scraps. I want to use them. I just can’t let go and make it happen. Every time I try, I hate how it turns out.
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter Love this quilt!
Am VERY controlled scrappy but working on evolving to random scrappy. Love the pattern.
I prefer a controlled scrappy style.
Probably a controlled scrappy style, random sometimes gets too busy for me.
Definitely controlled scrappy. Thanks for creating this pattern!
I am a Random Scrappy quilter! Love pulling pieces and putting together ❤
I like scrappy quilts in all their versions. 😀
I love scrappy quilts, but am just beginning to quilt and haven’t gathered enough scraps yet to make a quilt. I have two scrappy quilts made by my great grandmother. They would be somewhere around 80-90 years old…worn but still in decent condition.
Random scrappy! I love pulling pieces for a bag or box an just sewing whatever I pull out. It’s fun!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy person.

This is a beautiful quilt — I hope to do it in a controlled scrappy format. Thanks for the opportunity

Beautiful! I have a couple rather old quilts, not sure if they are antique. The best was my great grandmother’s, early 1900 or late 1800.
I am more of a controlled scrappy person. It’s hard for me to let go. 🤣
I have made random scrappy, but find myself drawn to more controlled scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter right now. I am a fairly new quilter so as I build more stash, maybe I will be more scrappy. I am excited for this quilt along!
I have made both random and controlled scrappy. My “OCD” tendencies make it hard for me to be random, however! I like something controlled better.
I am a Random Scrappy quilter, for sure.
Thanks for this lovely giveaway.
I’m both, controlled scrappy and randomly scrappy, they each have their place and look great!
This museum quilt looks great! I have a very old quilt, more than 50 years old, but I don’t know any history on it, like who made it.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Definitely a random scrappy, I use what’s left from other quilts.
I bought my pattern today. I like the controlled scrappy…blue and white, like yours. If I don’t have enough scraps I may be forced to buy more fabric!😂
Controlled scrappy for sure.
I am a controlled scrappy person. I just don’t have the courage to be a random scrappy person.
I love your pattern!
I am a controlled scrappy person also. I think the pattern is gorgeous!

I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Love both controlled and random scrappy!
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy person. I have a really hard time with random. I love the quilt. I’d love to make it for my sister in Sleepovers fabric because she used to stay awake with me when I couldn’t sleep as a kid.
I am totally controlled scrappy. I can’t seem to break out of that comfort zone
Lol, I guess i would be a controlled scrappy quilter because I get very stressed if the pieces don’t sort of don’t go together and I usually quilt with precuts anyway, 😊
I am normally a controlled scrappy quilter, but I am venturing out currently with a random scrappy 2.5” square quilt to use up some of my random scraps:). I love the beautiful pattern in the sleepover fabric.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I wish I could make a random scrappy quilt … maybe someday :)
I am a random scrappy. I love to buy bits a piece whenever I see them knowing one day they will have a perfect purpose.

I’m a controlled scrappy girl!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter! I would love to do a random scrappy quilt, but it doesn’t seem to happen. Maybe I need more scraps?!
Hi 👋🏻
I have been a controlled scrappy quilter but have just started being a random scrappy quilter. It’s so much fun!!
I am the controlled scrappy person
I’ve already purchased the pattern and would love to win the fabrics! I’m a controlled scrappy but this would force me to work out of my comfort zone! Thank you.
I am most definitely a controlled scrap person. Can’t have the same color next to each other. I just love this quilt.
I am a controlled scrappy person. Thank you for the giveaway! 😃
Mostly controlled scrappy. I love this design.
I’m a controlled scrappy for sure!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter for sure. No way I could ever just go with whatever fabric I picked up out of a pileorbag LOL
I love the look of scrappy but, I have a tendency of going controlled with my own quilts. I need to make myself do a completely scrappy one. They are so happy!
Love the pattern, Wendy, you are so talented. I appreciate all your efforts and I love the flower garden fabric.
Definitely controlled scrappy
I’m afraid that I’m not a controlled scrappy person, But I do love fabric and
fabric stores.
I like controlled scrappy. I have made several scrappy quilts and they are too hodgepodge for my liking. I love your blue scrappy.
I love random scrappy quilts but tend to be controlled scrappy when I create a quilt.
I am a total scrappy! Not sure about control lol.
Controlled scrappy-random makes me nervous!
Wendy, your pattern is really a wow!
I guess I am more of controlled scrappy and wondering why I keep all of these half-square triangles. Haha
I am usually controlled scrappy, but I am currently making a random scrappy quilt using 989 squares with no repeats from my scrap stash.
I tend to be a controlled scrappy person but have been known to make do with what I have.
I am a controlled scrappy person! I enjoy putting the shades together! Love your pattern Wendy! Can’t wait to get started!!
Random scrappy. Always have good intentions but have limited time to quilt.
Somewhere between random and controlled…don’t quite know what that is, but it works for me! thank you!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I always second guess myself when I try to do random scrappy.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter, though I do love the occasional “throw it all together” quilt too. Thank you for the amazing giveaway!
I do love the idea of random scrappy, but seem to have “control” scrappy needs. Just love quilting and I love your pattern.
I have so many scraps I need to be a random scrappy quilter but I think I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter
Random Scrappy all the way!!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I usually use kits.
I am a Scrappy Girl! The more scraps the merrier, but I do tend to Control color & pattern. LOVE your version of this vintage pattern & your beautiful blue & white, but I am In Love with SLEEPOVER! Just love the color & pattern of this line. Thanks for supporting our Virginia Quilt Museum!
Definitely controlled scrappy! And I am making great progress in using up a lot of my scraps.
I’m a random scrappy quilter!
I am both a random and a controlled scrappy quilter. It depends upon the project and my mood at the time.
I tend to be a controlled scrappy quilter but would like to learn to be more random.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter and color conscious. The Sleepover fabrics go well together and will make a beautiful Harrisonburg museum quilt. This is a very thoughtful thing to do for quilters.
I am a controlled scrappy! I’m attempting to be more random, but it’s a challenge!
I could go either way but do lean more to controlled.
I am mostly a controlled scrappy quilters but working hard to be more random …..
I’m a new quilter, but I think I’m a controlled scrappy person.
I think I am both, my daughter says I am a fabric hoarder but I never throw away a scrap I can use!
I could go either way but lean more to controlled.
I love it all, but tend more strongly to the controlled scrappy!
I have a hard time being scrappy. My Mom always made scrap quilts, I don’t know how she did it.. I would have to say I’m probably controlled scrappy.
I do have an antique quilt with squares made for me by my great grandmother, and put together by my mother.
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy quilter.
For a long time scrappy had to be controlled – but I am working on a quilt that is definitely not controlled. Am anxious to see how it finally turns out.
Wendy this pattern is amazing and I am looking forward to getting my copy. Love your blue and white version too…may be the way I need to go on this one! I LOVE the look of scrappy quilts but whenever I try it myself I seem to fall back to controlled scrappy, lol.
It depends on my creative mood if I am a scrappy or controlled scrappy quilter.
I generally prefer a controlled scrappy color palette. Love this pattern!
onrolled scrappy, but trying to change my ways!
I am random scrappy all the way.
I am a controlled scrappy person. I absolutely love the blues
Usually I am a random scrappy person, in this case controlled only by sticking to a palette, I think.
Love any kind of scrappy but lean toward random!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I
Controlled scrappy for me. I’m sure I don’t have 300 different fabrics but I would love to mak a quilt in blues like yours!
I’ve never done a scrappy quilt but believe I’d be a controlled scrappy quilter. I’m sure I have enough scraps.
I am both a random and a controlled scrappy quilter. I love both ways.
I am a random scrappy quilter. I love your blues!!! It’s extraordinary!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter.
Count me as a random scrappy gal. Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway!
I’m more of a controlled scrappy quilter. Will someday try a scrappy scrappy. Great pattern and fabric.
Both depending on the project! Excited about this beautiful pattern, love the history.
I’m both. I have made several quilts with a blind eye to color and then a pattern appears that says to me it needs to be made in specific colors.
Boy, I cannot decide! I really like scrappy and controlled colorways! Beautiful pattern. I have a trip planned to the museum in March.
Tough one… I see myself as randomly controlled scrappy!
I am mainly a controlled scrappy because it is really hard to just randomly put one piece of fabric next to another- but I’m trying!!!!
There’s nothing better than not a single repeat fabric in a quilt. Random scrappy for me.
I’m more of a controlled scrappy quilter. I love the look of the random scrappy quilt but struggle with doing it possibly because of my OCD.
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am a random scrappy quilter. I love the surprise of fabrics unexpectedly playing nicely together!
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter…I can’t free myself to mix collections, especially.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter.
I love scrappy quilts but I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter.
Hi Wendy–I too am a controlled scrappy quilter–though the hum of the sewing machine tries to lull it to sleep, the left side of my brain cannot relinquish fully to that creative right side!!
I like to think that I am a random scrappy quilter, but sometimes I just have to be more in control.lol
Controlled scrappy, please.
I’m a control scrappy quilter, but I like scrappy quilts. I love the pattern that it is so versatile to use as a scrappy quilt.
Most of the scrappy quilts I have made are from a controlled pallet or theme. However, I do love a random scrappy quilt like my mother used to make.
Definitely controlled scrappy. The more controlled, the better.
I’m pretty random- with quilting and other things too.
Your quilt done in scrappy blues & creams is beautiful!
I’m a little of both, a scrappy random and a little controlled scraps. I like scrappy quilts, they are unique!
This quilt pattern is so pretty. I am a controlled scrappy person. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around just sewing pieces of fabric together that don’t match….
I am a controlled scrappy. Someday I should think out side of the box and just make a randomly scrappy quilt! I have plenty of scraps to do so😂!
controlled scrappy
I am a random scrappy quilter. I love to grab my scraps and start sewing with whatever I pull out without thinking.
I love controlled scrappy quilts! Looking forward to joining this QAL! Thank you for organizing it!
Definitely a controlled scrappy … but one of these days I am going to try random scrappy just because. Would love to make this quilt!
I would have to say that I am a controlled scrappy quilter, based on the quilt I made for my mother-in-law. The majority of the blocks have cats in a variety of poses, appliquéd on unbleached muslin. The dashing and border are a mixture of 30’s reproductions, but I only used a total of 4 fabrics
Controlled Scrappy. It stresses me to do random.
Hi, I am a controlled scrapy. I would like to be a non-controlled scrapy because when I see someone else’s quilt and they have that one random block or piece I always love it and wish I could do that.
I’ma totally CONTROLLED scrappy quilter, when I go scrappy. Lol
I am both and neither. Random in ‘crazy’ and some other styles and controlled in yet other styles. Am drawn to asymmetry along with dramatic color.
Random scrappy – that is what I associate with the quilts made by my grandmother.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I’ve tried being random but I really struggle with just letting it go.
I am a controlled scrappy. I have a hard time being totally scrappy.
Just got the pdf and envisioned red/whites. Lol. I guess that means controlled scrappy!
I am totally random. I can only imagine what people think when they look closely at my fabrics in a scrap quilt. Anything goes…
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I try to start as a random scrappy quilter, but …!
I am controlled scrappy. There’s only so much disorder I can stand.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy person. Love the museum quilt.
More controlled but it also depends on the project.
I am a controlled quilter. Love these fabrics.
I am a controlled quilter. Love those fabrics.
I am more of a controlled scrappy than random. I think it also depends on the type of quilt pattern I’m making.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I can’t do completely random ones, they look like a big mess to me and I can’t find the pattern, I need something constant to ground the whole thing and give it a structure I can easily recognize.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I like to balance the project and do not yet have enough of a stash to put a scrappy quilt together.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I don’t trust my to fly by the seat of my pants!
Wow!! Lots of entries already, but I gotta say: That quilt is gorgeous!!! I love the colors that Benartex picked for the kit!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!! I hope the museum makes bundles of money from your quiltalong!! :-)
I really would like to be a random scrapper, but the control side of me takes over. I keep working at letting go and be random.
I am sometimes a random, and sometimes a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am a controlled scrappy quilted
I definitely am a random scrappy quilter, but every once in a while……the control freak comes out!!
I am just too much of a control freak to be a random scrappy quilter. I love working with a coordinated bundle of fabrics and the Sleepover fabrics are just gorgeous; they are perfect for this pattern, but the picture of your blue and cream scrappy version is pretty tempting!
I haven’t made anything big that was scrappy. Just scrappy project bags. I haven’t accumulated enough scraps yet.
I’d not really considered that there were different scrappy styles before this question, so I had to think about this a bit. Then I realized that since I often say that doing a good random looking quilt is really challenging, I guess that means I’m more into controlled scrappy. 😉
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. The control aspect is usually selecting a couple or three colors and working with them in all available patterns, e.g., ditsy, dots, plaids, florals, foulard, and various reproduction fabrics
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I have too much of a control issue to really let go, so try to at least pick colors that play well together. 🤪. Thanks for the opportunity.
I am for sure a controlled scrappy person. I have a hard time trusting the process to go completely random.
Controlled scrappy
I am most definitely a scrappy quilter. Sometimes controlled scrappy, but mostly random ‘everything in’ scrappy! My hubby calls it ‘busy’!
I’m all scrappy. Some of my quilts are random, like my log cabins or pineapples. Some are controlled like my patriotic strip or 16 patch. I go for contrast.
I have only made random scrappy quilts in the past but I am currently working on a controlled scrappy quilt. I really like the control best.
I am seriously a controlled scrappy quilter. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
I am a random scrappy quilter! Anything goes, the more scraps the better!
For me, it depends on the quilt. I can go with either one depending on the design and the scraps I have. Great pattern and wonderful project.
I am so excited about making Harrisonburg and the QAL. I have been studying the pattern and love the blocks. I am thinking I would love to do it in a fat quarter bundle and maybe add a few other fabrics that would coordinate. I am more ‘controlled’ scrappy.
I make a lot of scrappy quilts with my church charity organization. We have made and sent quilts to those in need all over the world. We make blocks and bring them tougher to make scrappy quilts. At home I do like to make organized scrappy quilts. Thank you for the quilt pattern!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I have a tote full of 2 1/2″ strips and squares. But I still have the tendency to match up colors to look uniform from my scraps.
I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy… I have my pattern and am ready to quilt along ❤️❤️❤️
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter but love the random scrappy quilt made by my husband’s grandmother.
I’ve always been a more controlled scrappy kind of person until Pat did the Jelly Bean block a day last March…I went totally scrappy and pulled every bit of pink and green fabric I had in my stash….OH MY…BUT it came out BEAUTIFUL 🤩. Thanks for the invite to win this awesome quilt kit!
I am a controlled, random scrappy quilter-I organize my scraps into colorways and then mix them in piecing.
I have done both but feel more comfortable with controlled scrappy quilts.
Thanks Wendy for this chance to Win!! I did a QAL 3 years ago, with Pat Sloan and used random scraps and I found I am a Controlled Scrap Quilter. I prefer the Calm that comes from controlled scrapping over the caous of random colorways and prints.
Hello and thank you for this fabulous giveaway!
I am a controlled scrappy person. Love the little bit of organization it brings.
This is such a wonderful giveaway! I would love to be a random scrappy quilter. Unfortunately I’m too cautious and am a controlled “scrappy” My pile of scraps would disappear quicker if I could ” throw caution to the wind!”
Dare I admit I let the scraps talk. I would prefer to be more controlled but sometimes those scraps let me know I should just let go and let them take over.
What a delightful quilt! I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I love scrappy quilts but too much randomness in a quilt is unsettling for me and my need to be organized and methodical!
I prefer controlled scrappy!
I love the idea of a controlled scrappy quilt – the blue and white combination made me stop and take a second look.
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy camper. My creations are the best way I know to have a modicum of control over what’s happening in the big life picture and in my little corner of it!
Oh yes. I need control of my scrappiness! 😊
I am more of a controlled scrappy girl. I can’t eat too start this quilt!
I am a controlled scrappy quilter
I’m definitely a controlled scrappy, but I have loads of blue bits and pieces so I might try random for this….I absolutely love the look of your quilt! Of course on the other hand, there is that bundle of fabric…
I am mostly random, but some require me to be controlled.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilt maker – have wanted to make a “scrappy” quilt w/o any control whatsoever but cannot get my brain to wrap around such a project. Love your blue and cream quilt – that would be something I would do!
I most like that this is Virginia quilt based on the sisters who lived in Virginia. Thank you.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter, with a random personality.
definitely a random scrappy…
Hi Wendy. I am a controlled scrappy quilter. I like to think about it, probably too much! Thank you.
I have been a controlled scrappy quilter (being new). However I am attempting a very scrappy quilt using my scraps from mask making.
Great giveaway and a beautiful quilt. It is so nice to see patterns made from antique quilts. I think I behave like a “controlled” scrappy quilter. I am an engineer, and that makes me a little regimental with my colorations, LOL!
I hope to learn to be Randomly Scrappy, my eyes are always drawn to those, BUT when I try to do it I find myself always worrying about the colors and matches etc… I think I have to learn how to give up the control to get what I want.
I am mostly a controlled scrappy quilt person.
Random scrappy AND controlled scrappy. Anything goes!
I am a controlled scrappy person.
Controlled scrappy is my thing
I am definately a controlled scrappy person!
I love scrappy quilts, but I’d have to say not too random.
Definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I need symmetry. Beautiful quilt and fabrics!
I have made some random scrappy, but I always love the controlled scrappy. I need to make one of them myself. I don’t have my scraps at all organized tho. Maybe someday.
I am a random scrappy person and I do love scrappy quilts.
I am a random scrappy person who is trying to be a controlled scrappy quilter
I love scrappy quilts, I am more of a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am both random and controled scrappy it all depends on the scraps I have availavle to me
Dear Wendy, I’m a controlled scrappy quilter. I want my quilts to be beautiful like yours are! I’m waiting on the paper copies so I can order the new pattern from the museum. Roxy in Hudson, WI
I am learning to be both a random and controlled scrappy quilter, I like both, lean toward controlled.
Your pattern is lovely. Thanks for promoting the VQM.
I am primarily a controlled scrappy quilter. I love the Harrisonburg pattern!
I am a controlled scrappy sewer in general. Can’t stand to get rid of any piece of fabric that I can possibly use!
So great to see a pattern named after Harrisonburg and to support this wonderful museum and gallery. I looks like a great project for scraps but I would likely choose to do the project in a specific color way.
I love this fabric! And the pattern! I enjoy making scrap quilts. I do tend to control the scrappiness by using one fabric through out for balance and harmony. Thanks for the give away!
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I like things in an ordered random pattern.
For this quilt, probably a “color controlled” scrappy…. as soon as I saw the fabrics I thought color wash/rainbow!
Love controlled scrappy quilts! Scrappy makes me happy!
Controlled scrappy for sure! I have organized my scraps but tend to not use them enough. My goal this year is to make a quilt using the same pattern on all blocks with my scraps. Wish me luck!
Wow more than 600 comments! I like controlled scrappy, going to use mostly blue and green. Thanks for the great giveaways!
In this case I like controlled scrappy, I have always wanted to make a blue and cream/white quilt, but Pat’s fabric is sure pretty.

I’m definitely a controlled scrappy person but I want to try to make a least one random scrappy quilt! 😁
It depends a lot on the pattern. If I have a bundle from one designer and a pattern that lends itself to scrappy, I’ll definitely do a controlled scrappy quilt.
I have been a more “controlled scrappy” quilter in the past. With all of the scraps that I have accumulated, I am becoming more interested in trying a “random scrappy” quilt.
I am a controlled scrappy quilter, however this year I am going to give a try at random use of my scraps, making crumb blocks.
Gosh, I don’t know. I’ve done both, but I guess I like the look of the controlled scrappy after it’s done
Looking at my past few years of quilts, I believe I’m a random scrappy girl. I try to pull from my stash first. The controlled part might only be the background I use, but even that gets random at times. I really love the Harrisburg Quilt and plan to do that one.
Honestly I don’t do a lot of scrappy but I have a large (very large) stack of 10″ squares that I believe will work and they are random scrappy.
I do random scrappy quilts, most always working on something scrappy in between my projects to keep something under my needle!
I am a random scrappy quilter. I look at a pattern and determine the light and dark values and use any fabric that fits the light/dark placement. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!
I try for control scrappy(if I have enough scraps!)
I go either way, but I would say controlled scrappy most often.
Controlled, for sure!
I am very definitely a controlled scrappy quilter.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter.
I am controlled scrappy in that I like to make sure I don’t have same colors near each other but after that, anything goes
Definitely a controlled scrapyard quilter.
Definitely controlled scrappy is the way I roll. I tried a random, pull-fabric-from-a-brown-paper-bag technique once, but I kept pulling orange fabrics – NOT my favorite color. I couldn’t figure out why I had so many orange scraps when I almost never sew with it … until I heard my “friends” giggling behind me!
I love scrappy, controlled by colors. I just finished a quilt top for a quilt along with purple, orange, teal. So much fun!!
I’m more of a controlled scrappy quilt maker. Generally if I’m making a scrappy quilt – I would pick a colorful border fabric first and then try to stay within those colors. It’s difficult for me to do random colors but I love the look
Well, I like the look of a random scrappy quilt, provided that I’m not the one doing the random selection. When I try doing it, I usually “bomb” so I have to do a controlled scrappy quilt. My hat is off to those who comfortably do the random.
Years ago when I was working I would have said controlled scrappy, but since retiring I am random scrappy. Ha!
I am more a controlled scrappy quilt maker, but if my scraps start to get out of control, then I loose it and start cutting them up into a quilt to start getting the scraps in control again.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy. I have tried random and get very frustrated, maybe because my scraps don’t go together.
I am definitely a controlled scrappy quilter. I want to make sure the designs of my quilts are still seen.
I’ve made a few random scrappy quilts and they have come out great, but I’m making the for charity and to worry about the outcome. I’m mostly a controlled scrappy quilter on something I plan to keep because I get too concerned on how it’s going to look.
I do both kinds of scrappy but I find I am happier with my quilt if it is controlled scrappy😀
I have only been quilting for 2 1/2 years and have done both. I find that I love and need the controller scrappy. The cohesiveness to me is Amazing….
Love your pattern and the Virginia Quilt Museum! Thanks.
I love scrap quilt! I usually stick with a controlled scrappy look.
was excited to view your quilt and see examples of your talent again. I shared an Alaskan Quilt cruise with you and learned so much in your classes. random scrappy is where I land for my left over bonus fabrics. Thanks Wendy for continuing to share

I am mostly a random scrapper, but sometimes I will do controlled.
I am a random scrappy person. I love the look of it. Controlled seems a little on the boring side to me.
I WANT to be a random scrappy person, but, no, I’m a controlled scrappy for sure! Thanks for the opportunity for this! It is lovely!
Hi I’m more of a planned scrappy quilter. I received a stack of 4 patches and decided to make doll quilts for granddaughters and great nieces. I found where I had to unstitch several as they bothered me lol. I’m not great with instagram but am trying so I’ll definitely look you up to follow
I don’t know yet I am saving scraps and have lots of ideas but I only started quilting a 18 months ago. I have so many quilts I want to make including scrappy ones only time will tell which way I go
I am a control freak! The first step is awareness. I am trying to let go and enjoy a more random approach. Thanks for doing this!
Definitely controlled scrappy
I am a controlled scrappy person. It’s hard to let go of the control. Thank you for the giveaway. ❤️
I don’t have very many scraps yet, and I’m not too good at letting go, so for now I’m mostly a controlled scrappy person.
Definitely controlled scrappy…it’s a sruggle.
I tend to a controlled scrappy. I love your blue and cream theme!
I love your blue controlled scrappy quilt. It is so soft and sweet.
I have an antique Crazy Quilt made circa 1958 by Saddie Glass in Charlottesville, Virginia. Saddie was my great grandmother.
To answer the correct question, I am an uncontrolled scrappy quilter.
I am a random scrappy.
I am a random scrappy.
I’m a controlled scrappy quilter.
Controlled scrappy without a doubt!
I love both but if I had to choose probably controlled scrappy. I love your quilt in the controlled blues and neutrals.
I’m both, random and controlled. It depends on what I’m working on.
I have a quilt top that my grandma made.
I like to choose a controlled color palette but then try to do random placement of those pieces
Hi! I am a controlled ( to a fault) scrappy quilter/sewer. Thanks for doing this quilt/giveaway!
Definitely a pre planner controlled scrappy quilter. If the colors and pattern don’t flow, it’s gotta go!
I am not a scrappy quilter, but would like to learn how to blend my scraps into a beautiful quilt.
Wendy, I am definitely a CONTROLLED scrappy gal. I am so excited to start on this beautiful project you have been teasing us with all your beautiful blue blocks of the vintage original. MargaretAnn
Controlled, but hoping to loosen up a bit as my fabric stash grows!
