Based on both public and private communications, I've come to believe that "scrappy" is not so well-defined nor used to mean the same thing by all quilters.

What's your definition of Scrappy? Please answer with a photograph (or several).

(These are NOT my quilts, but others I've found here that I admire.)

I love the black one.

Those are very pretty and scrappy.
To me scrappy is using lots of different fabrics, no matter how you put them together.

These are some of my scrappy quilts!

More of my scrappy quilts!

Scrappy to me is defined as using any fabric left over from previous projects. Nothing PURCHASED for the project. Though I know many people actually purchase and co-ordinate fabric for scrap quilts. But, to me that defeats the purpose of what a scrap quilt is about.

Here's one of mine and it's a true scrap quilt. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-160689-1.htm

By the way...someone entered a scrap quilt at our show and was marked down by a judge because the scraps weren't co-ordinated well.... Grrrrr. Scraps are scraps:<

scrappy is taking all your leftovers and making a work of art

Thanks for posting.
Scrappy is defined by using what ever fabric you have in your scrap bag.
I Like planned scrappy select your scraps and make a quilt more pleasing to the eye.

Scrappy - the only way to go
 

Your quilts are WOW!
A scappy to me is taking anything and everything, and putting them together in an ordered of disordered way. A beautiful surprise everytime! Much as I love working in a an organised way with a few colours and following an intricate pattern, scrappy quilts really excite me. Sometimes I think this is what quilting is all about, making something superb out of what should have been thrown out.

beautiful quilts thanks for sharing

Love these...

Mine is scrappy, drag around quilts. Made completely out of left-overs. They won't win any awards, and often not so nice looking. But big, warm and comfortable. As all my quilts are made are given away for free to charity.
