Love, love, love scrappy quilts!
|
I love and appreciate all quilts. I personally don't care for the scrappy quilts as sometimes I think they are hard to look at. Too many patterns, fabrics going in all directions, etc. I prefer a planned quilt, with the fabrics all matching. However, I am saving squares to make a postage stamp quilt. I want to use only fabrics that I have used. I realize this is "scrappy" but postage stamp quilts I can look at all day!!!

i enjoy all of them....

I like them all but looove the scrappy ones. I keep making them but the box of scraps never seems to get emptied. Why?
|
Scrappy quilts are my favorite. I teach a scrap class that meets once a month. We find that some quilts can be trully scrappy and others are organized or planned scrappy. Those look more like a traditionally planned quilt but are using up that collection of scraps. We call it "Inventory Control", since using up scraps makes more room for new inventory.

I agree , I love the scrappy quilts, don't care for the Art quilts at all, much prefer the old time look in fabric and patters.

love scrappy quilts but each has their own taste enjoy what you make

I more drawn to the more 'traditional' than 'modern' or 'art-quilt' and I love scrappy as long as the colours are "right" (to my eye - your mileage may vary). By that I mean more traditional colours - I cannot imagine liking a neon scrappy. But then maybe I just haven't seen the right one yet!!...

I agree!!!! |
I think our personality is revealed in our quilts. Scrappy is hard for me I have made one and it turned out beautiful.
I confess I spent more time choosing the the fabric out of my scrap ben than sewing the top together. I definitely want and need to plan my quilts. |
