I like scrappy but feel I cannot do one. I see many I really love and think I could do that. Then I see ones I don't like and think that's what mine would look like.

I love the scrappies, scrappy-likes, and everything in between scrappy related. My favorite.

I love scrappy and although I haven't actually made that many of them, I find that I am a controlled scrappy kinda quilter. I think that it combines the best of both worlds.

To look at - almost anything is appealing.
To make - I think I go in the 'controlled scrappy' category. |

Draw from the bag without looking and USE that scrap. No putting it back into the collection; use it right where it was intended to be! Jan in VA The first is a string top I came across somewhere and ended up tying because it was so crooked but I loved and wanted to use it. The other one is the paper bag method, quilt as you go with the back great big scrappy pieces. Please ignore dog fur LOL |
I also love scrappy quilts. I need to get back to that.

I love scrappy quilts! :)

I love quilts, there is a special place for scrappy quilt in my book. I am almost done piecing my spiderweb quilt. It's tedious to make I agree, but I think it's very rewarding, each piece of fabric used reminds me of someone's quilt I made and some yet to make. Kinda like friends, old and new and more to make.

I love scrappy quilts! Have found I do better with a pattern; Rail Fence and 9 Patch for stripsn are perfect. I just sort and press them, and have fun picking up a strip and utilizing it in the block.
I made a scrap with different colors of blocks,and concentrated on having a family of colors in each block. It turned out well and I love the look of having made something from a sack of scraps instead of taking the scraps to a church here in town. They love the scraps and make the quilts for Missions. Just love the idea of making "something out of almost nothing." Mariah... |
Never have done a scrappy but I LOVE the way they look.
My concern with the scraps I have is that no way will I get anything cohesive out of it. They are too varied in shape and color! I keep shuffling the bag around and never even get started! |
