Scrap quilts to me are made up of left overs and scrappy quilts are made up of maybe good sized pieces that just aren't planned where they are going to go. A planned scrappy has something about it that pulls it together.

The tumbler quilt is, to me, a true scrap quilt. Even some of the blocks are made up of scraps. It's the quilt that gets pulled out when we sit out on the patio on a cool night. One of my favourites.

The batik quilt is a scrappy in that I didn't plan where any of the fabrics went. I had all the cut pieces in a bag and they just got sewn onto whatever piece was pulled out next. My sister claimed that one.

The star quilt is a planned scrappy to me, because each star has turquoise triangles that help pull the whole thing together.

I’m not crazy about putting together colors that don’t “go together.” I like other people’s scrappy quilts, but it’s not my thing. That’s what is so great about quilters - we can appreciate any quilt even if it’s not our style.

I make my scrappy quilts out of a set of like themes. My favorite is any color batik with off white/almond batik. I have made what I consider to be scrappy by using 30's prints with white. I don't like prints that are scrappy. My Bee has done several challenges with fabrics that are pot luck, you get what you get. I have decided that I am not good at using several different fabrics together and coming out with a good product.

My definition of ( scrappy) is a quilt made from scraps. Plain & simple.
my biggest scrap quilt is this one- made with 924 3” triangles- every scrap I could cut a 3” triangle from.
