Do you mean little scallops or big scallops?
Little scallops are just lots of circles, jar top pattern, two pieces right sides together, draw the circles, sew all around the lines. cut roughly out leaving a seam edge. cut exactly in half, turn, and sew them to the quilt edges like you do prarie points.
Big scallops are a border, cut using plates or platters as patterns. Got to use bias binding though, and pleat the inside bends neatly and blindstitch them closed.
Hope this gives you some ideas?
