These used to be made by dipping into the scrap bag, but the end result is the same :wink:
Some are totally random in the fabric placement, others may be separated by lights/darks. There are some who try not to place to like prints/colors side by side.
There are those who literally reach in and blindly grab a piece from a shopping bag... what ever they grab is what is used next. Others need to plan a bit more than that, or totally separate their scraps out by color. Personal preference seems to determine just how scrappy a scrappy quilt turns out :D
String quilts are made by using narrower strips of fabric, usually but not always scrappy. :D:D:D
Well put. In however, can NOT do scrappy....I tried. About drove myself even more crazy! Lol. Guess I must have a touch of OCD. I will try again though. I took an accounting class at the local college just because I don't like accounting. So I am sure I will challenge myself again with a scrappy. :)
