I regard 'scrappy' as one of the highest points of artistry in quilt making. There is the form in which pieces of fabric are joined into a very random fashion. Some are eye pleasing to me-others are not. Then, there are those in which the maker has placed colors of miscellaneous fabric in a very orderly fashion. I think of Judy Martin and Sally Schneider in this contest and I love their work. And, of course, we all know about Bonnie Hunter. Using fabric you have is not the issue, it is seeing its beauty as it is joined in groups of fabrics that just play together well. I have lots of scraps-all separated by color into plastic bags and I want to make a quilt with them; but, I don't have confidence-yet.
