One of the nice things about quilting is there are so many choices out there. I don't do the art type quilts and lean more to traditional,but I do appreciate the talents art quilter give to their designs. So, we all have our likes and dislikes but we are all bound by "fabric love"

I think of them as utility quilts. Great for picnics and forts. I made one a long time back - foundation pieced it on muslin so it would be extra warm, and donated it to a homeless shelter. They were thrilled to get it, I had an empty scrap bin, and I felt good too. (I try to do little things for the shelters as my brother was homeless for much of his life, and could be again...). Next on my list is a qayg string quilt.

I do like them and the patience put in, BUT to each their own, I HATE ,HATE , HATE quilts whatever the pattern that have been [usually] quilted by machine to within an inch of their life and cannot even contemplate what goes thro the minds of those who do it, they give me the creeps and are NOT comforting at all, SO ,NO I don't think either you or I are snobs , merely exercising our taste.

I feel the opposite. I really finding it rewarding to be able to use those little pieces to create something beautiful. You do have to be careful in which scarps you choose to use together. Different opinions make the world go round. Wait, are crumb quilts and scrap quilts the same? I love using scraps still.
