I have never made a truely scrappy quilt, not yet. All my quilts are somewhat scrappy, planned scrappy. I like to use lots of fabrics in a quilt that might call for 3 colors, I will use maybe 10 or 15 of each of those colors. I hope to make a truely scrappy quilt someday, so I can have a piece of each quilt that I have made up to that point. I will use some other solid to bring it all together though. If you think about it the new quilts that use jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc... are really scrappy quilts made with 40 different fabrics.
