I love scrappy quilts too. I keep all my leftover and trimmed fabrics for scrappy quilts, like to make two color ones such as all blues and creams.

Well, after reading all this...I'm ready to go start a scrappy quilt!!!

I love scrappy cus I don't have to decide which few fabrics to use, I get to use them ALL. LOL

I love fabric and I like to see the variety in a scrappy quilt. It is fun to sit and find different fabrics in one quilt. I made a Christmas quilt and used hundreds of different fabrics. I like it organized, though, not just thrown together. My friends give me their "scraps". I am making a GFG with their scraps. To me they are delightful little pieces of my friends' quilts.

i grew up with scrappys or utility as my mom called them so scrappys are my choice brings back memories and i get to use all kinds i=of fabric

I love scrappy the best-like a color treat for our eyes.I have a massive stash and hardly ever to a planned quilt-cut strips of many prints to make scrappy is what I do most of the time

I love scrappy quilts because they are like a memory quilt to me. I use all the scraps from making my children and grandchildren's clothing, so everytime I look at it, I see all the memories. :P

For me, the appeal is that it reminds me of the great creativity ordinary women have shown in making beautiful things from what were literally scraps of fabric.

scrap quilts are the origins of quilting itself. Back in the day, quilts were made from the scraps left over from sewing clothing, and "recycling" the useable parts of old clothing. I think the Colonials would be horrifed at the idea of us buying new fabric and cuttring it up into patterns.

I just had a friend call me and say, you want my scrap bin...I said sure..thinking I would use the little pieces to do some scrappy pp'ed stuff...NO...Her idea of scraps are FQ's with a 4" corner missing, or the trimmings from her quilt backs..you know 12" wide and 120" long....heheheh
I got 3 garbage bags of fabric.....YIKES.....
