    I'm so impressed with all these beautiful quilts!!! You are all so inspirational! I'm just a bit confused after looking at so many of them, and seeing quite a bit of yardage of one single fabric...I thought a "scrap" quilt was a mixture of "leftover scraps" of fabric sewn together, rather than a "scrappy" pattern? Or is it up to the quilter what is a "scrap quilt"?

    I think it's up to the quilter, but that's what I thought to. I asked my aunt who quilts a lot and she said that with her scrap quilts, she likes to have 1 fabric that ties it all together, usually a solid like white, cream or black. then the pattern is all scraps from her drawers.

    I agree with the "leftover scraps"...but I guess some of the patterns require some extra yardage of new material.......

    I think the term 'scrappy' has become more liberal in it's use these days but traditionally it would have meant exactly that. Quilts made from scraps only. I like scrap quilts for the use of many colours and patterns but do like some order to them. In general I have only fat quarters and left overs that I work from but will use some kind of colour sequence or linking fabric to tie it all together. That is the great thing about quilting today - it is so diverse that everybody can find an aspect that apeals to them!
