I love scrap quilts and do not see that as a derogatory term. I have no interest in buying kits to make quilts that someone else designed. No creativity there! I would find no pleasure in going into the LQS and spending several hundred dollars buying a line all designed by someone else, then worrying to the end of the project if I was going to run out of fabric to finish up the quilt (and wondering if the LQS has any yardage left by then). I enjoy the challenge of making what I have on hand with the addition of a few purchased yards into something beautiful. Heck, I mostly love what I have on hand or I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
