I love scrappies for so many of the reasons given previously. I love seeing fabrics that have become part of other quilts, I love the variety of directions the fabrics take in new quilts. I love the freedom of trying new blocks and then putting them together. I like variety and sometimes quilts are repetative in making the same block over and over. If it is with different fabric that helps change it up as you see the block come together. I also like that when I don't want to sew, I can cut scraps into pieces for a scrappy. Right now I have a nice box full of 2 inch pieces that will be a scrappy around the world someday. I love fabric and scrappies are just another form of play and creativity.
