IMHO, it can be pretty much anything. By that, I mean... it can be made from true "scraps" of fabric or you can buy fabric for it (I've done both & sometimes in the same quilt). I don't think it matters about the pattern too much. I think almost any pattern can be made "scrappy". I think there are 2 kinds of scrappies, tho... controlled & not. Controlled has a fabric that ties everything together & not is just whatever goes.
