My DH refers to scrappies as "real" quilts. Meaning traditional frugal fabric usage. He always loves my scrappies but says they are too good for charity giving, because of the time and love involved... a concept I don't really buy into. He says scrappies are what I should give to someone who s seriously ill, such as the acquaintance with stage 4 brain cancer who was given a month to live MAX but was still alive, alert and wrapped in that quilt a year later ..... in remission!!!! She credited the "magic" of the quilt. Her DH said she always wrapped up in it for lounging at home or going out in his truck.
