I've tried lots of different scrappy quilts. First one I made was at a guild sewin and we picked a fabric out of a bag and sew it to whatever fabric we picked out next and so on. Really didn't care for the quilt at all so I decided that I like a little bit more control when I make a scrappy quilt. I made one with all different blues, yellows and creams, make string blocks with the same color in the middle and add strips of various fabrics that sort of go with each other. Recently made a log cabin that was controlled with rows one and two in the same white fabric in each block and rows 3 and 4 in the same black in each blocs and so on. I used about 4 different whites and blacks. So you see scrappy means lots of different things.
