Scraps
Last Monday (13th) i decided i'd had enough of my overflowing scraps. I've been saving scraps for maybe 15 or so years. Thinking oh "this would be good for applique or that would be useful in a quilt of some description". But very little was ever used & to add to that i was given scraps & even won a bag of scraps. I spent 7 days & 2 nights cutting those scraps into squares (one of those days being FNSI). They range from 1-1/2" to 6".
The scraps i started with Monday. What is in the big bag at the back used to all live nicely in the basket.
End result & i found a use for all the tins i collected last year. :)
What is left in the basket are pieces for a wallhanging or 2 or a tablerunner or 2.
All the little pieces left over will now be added to my compost bin. A big win for me i think.
Happy Stitching,

ReplyDeleteWell done Jeanette it certainly is a big win for you,that's a lot of time e cutting xx
ReplyDeleteThat's remarkable... you actually have tidy scraps ~ WoW! Great effort!!! xox
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting your scraps all organized like that! :0)
ReplyDeleteYou know - when you only have 10 or 15 minutes to sew, you could stitch together a quick 4-patch. You'd have a quilt in no time! I think it's brilliant to have them all ready to go like that.
ReplyDeleteNow I understand fantastic idea xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou certainly are industrious and organized! Have fun with your bits and pieces. :)
ReplyDeletethat's a really good idea..... and job well done...

Well aren't you just the most organized quilter! So industrious to get all those bits organized... and doesn't it feel good?! Sounds like you cut all the right sizes, and the leftovers are just that - leftovers. Will you be using pieces as leaders and enders now? I have a friend who makes a "free quilt" every year, as a result of leaders and enders. And since the quilt is free, she donates it to charity. Such a good idea. Hope you have fun with your scraps!
