I don't think "scrappy" is a devaluing term at all. In fact, in many ways, it takes a better eye for color and scale to choose "scraps" or "pieces from one's stash" and make the values and patterns play well together. Using scraps, in my opinion, whether they cost $14 or $2 a yard, is not why non-quilters may not understand the value of our work. It's the fact that they don't quilt.
