From the Link:
Never in a million years would I have thought of making a quilt with all my low volume (a.k.a. "white") scraps.

Thanks for posting about this ... like the others, I'd never heard about this and I do like the look!
When you think of it, it's much the same as "shabby chique".

Thanks for asking the question and expanding my horizons. I had to peek at Red Pepper quilt because I wouldn't think of them as ever doing anything LOW volume. Have to say I think I like this and might try one of my own.

Thank you so much! Only 1 hour per 9" block for the quilting! It is waiting for binding, which I'll get finished this week! Then I'll post a picture in the photo section. It was so much fun to quilt! Definitely NOT a low-volume quilt!!!

Thanks for the picture - the color does punch up the quilt! Love the new modern quilts - so many opportunities for quilting!!!

Technically, yes, it would be considered low value. I believe the younger, modern-er (yes I just made that word up) set of quilters has come up with the term "low volume" to describe these quilts, and it seems to have stuck. Low volume because they're on the quieter side, I suppose.
Here's another one. I do like them quite a bit, they feel softer and more feminine to me. I just don't have enough of the right kinds of scraps to make one!
