And although it is not "scrappy" per se if she used your stash she can consider it scrappy if she wants to. I think there is more skill using fabric as an art form than coming up with the perfect "color" or "brush stroke." It is not easy to take a fabric with all it's colors and various textures and make it play nice with another dozen or hundred different fabrics all in the same place at the same time. We quilters often baffle other artists with that ability and the fact that a quilt can take longer to produce than a baby (especially if it is hand quilted). We need to be proud of our art. And like others have said the scrappier the better. So scrap sisters unite and be proud.
She was in college. She and her husband were living with us at the time.
We printed the legends on printable fabric in an inkjet. She appliqued those on, too.
What got me - this is a kid who can't sew on a button!
