Dealing with Scraps


I don't know about you but my scraps got completely out of control.  I was just keeping every little scrap from nothing to huge.  Here's the proof of my dusty screwed up uncared for obsession for scraps.

So I cleared off the cutting table, turned on the iron and started cutting.  I cut every (well almost) every use-able piece of fabric.    Resulting in this organised containers of scraps in a pre-determined size.

5x5"  squares 5" strips
2x2" squares  2" strips
3x3" squares 3" Strips

and so on you get the idea.  Now when I am cutting fabric, instead of throwing them into bin after bin I a know cutting them and filing them away afterwards.

I really think this idea is going to work for me and I am excited to find that next great scrap quilt project.

Take care Toni
