I have already replied what a scrappy is to me, but I would like to add that I also believe that if you are the one making the quilt, then you get to call the shots and say what scrappy is for your quilt. I don't think there is any one right or wrong answer to this question and we are all right as far as what scrappy is for us. Isn't quilting great that way???? Hugssssss and smilessss all!
