Whether a quilt is scrappy or "color-coordinated" isn't really the deciding factor for me. It's the overall appeal of the quilt. Scrappy can be beautiful - but it also can have just the opposite impact. A friend was making a quilt consisting of blocks of 1" finished squares - 81 different fabrics in each block. I really wasn't impressed by the look of each block, but when she added black sashing to each and started putting them together, it was a whole different story. It was beautiful! The scraps took on a whole new look and seemed to sparkle. I guess I'd have to say "planned scrappy" is my preference!
