Anyone who has made a scrappy quilt knows the work and planning that often goes into them. The are (if anything) more valued because they have used all your bits and pieces allowing you to start rebuilding the scraps pile (ha, ha). I also find that when I am making something using these bits and pieces I often remember things happening when I first used that fabric or the person I gave it to. I usually keep my scrap quilts because they are so full of memories.
