I think it depends on your definition of scrappy. I always defined scrappy as crazy quilts, or what some call crumb quilts - IOW quilts with no definable blocks. I don't like those either. I like order :)
But a lot of people define scrappy as using a lot of different fabrics - even if they are not necessarily "scraps". By this definition a LOT of quilts fall into this category. One of my favorite quilt types is small piece quilts - Omigosh, Dear Jane, Farmers Wife, small cut log cabins and pineapples. All of these can be made using a lot of different fabrics including but not limited to small scraps from your bin.
