First up, a few recent additions to my stash . . .
Here's what we are looking at from AMH's tambourine collection
Spotted in the Crowd in Shah,Gypsy Heart in Confection, Gypsy Heart in Waking,
& Messages in Perfume
'Spotted in the Crowd in King' originally from AMH's field study collection
A wonderful leopard print, and a long time favourite of mine
I bought a larger amount than I would usually, I'm thinking it could possibly be perfect for borders

And, over the past few months, I've been slowly collecting these new assorted pinks & golds, mainly fat 1/4's and an occasional 1/2 metre piece. I gathered them all up today to see how they would look, all together, for maybe another scrappy quilt? Maybe the free Moda pattern moda love quilt?
Everyone has a different definition of a scrap. However, it got me wondering, is it still considered a 'scrappy quilt' if I bought all the fabrics that I think I might use for a particular quilt? I'm pretty sure that once I cut up a variety of these prints, add in a few more low volumes, and put it all back together again, it will look very scrappy. What do you think?
. . . until next time

Lovely fabrics! Once you cut up your FQ, you have scraps ;-)! The Moda Love quilt, looks like a great one to make!
I love scrappy quilts and do not mind if they are made from stash or from actual scraps.
I'm not one for quilting rules, so I think you can define scrappy however you like, it's your quilt. Love all those different prints. You are so bold with your patterns and colors and use them so skillfully.
I agree with Kate, define as you like.
Scrappy to me means not 'matchy matchy' but instead a personal fun mix with good contrast.
Mixing it up is scrappy.
That leopard print has so many possibilities. I think scrappy just means not from the same range, a pick n mix from your stash.
I agree, the leopard print is a definite winner. To me a scrappy quilt can be either made up just with scraps of fabric left over from a multitude of previous quilts or a mixed selection of fat quarters, half metres or more, whatever takes your fancy!
I think you are right and that the fabrics will look good s a scrappy quilt.
People often comment about my fabric choices, so I thought I’d share a little about my shopping habits! It all gets mixed up into the stash!
It’ll be interesting making the modalovequilt, I haven’t made a large scaled up design like this block before.
I’m hoping my scrappy pink & gold selection will show up well and the quilt looks relatively easy to piece... so fingers crossed
And thanks for taking the time to add to the scrappy discussion.
Whoops! I just noticed I commented on the wrong post....see previous post... *blush*
