I am a dedicated scrappy quilt maker. I do not use yardage in a scrappy quilt, Only less than half yard pieces of fabric. I buy remnants also, which to me are technically scraps. I do not think a scrap has to be used fabric, but it certainly can be. I think scrappy is a very appropriate term for what I do. There are lots of modifiers that can be used. I like controlled scrappy for when one limits the number of colors or types of print such as florals or geometrics. If one uses a fat quarter collection of coordinating fabrics, to me that is not scrappy. But I wouldn't have an argument with anyone about it. lol
