I think of scrap quilts as being made of lots of different colors that might not otherwise go together. it doesn't matter where you get the material. I usually have to control to some extent how I put things together tho. Mostly I pay more attention to light values. I made one from a pattern called scrappy stars, If you didn't pay attention to the layout of darks and lights, you wouldn't see the star pattern. and believe me I used a to n of different materials. It turned our lovely. My avitar is a scrap quilt. just put together with white strips.
