As you know, I’ve been sorting, cutting, and processing my scraps for the past three weeks.
And now I’m finished!!
I’ve dealt with every one of those miscellaneous piles and bags of leftover fabric, and this is what I ended up with.
Boxes and bins. Lots of boxes and bins.
BOXES of 2.5-inch strips……
BINS of 2.5-inch squares…..
Drawers of other fabrics, including 1.5-inch strips and 2-inch strips!!
But now, instead of a jumble of scraps waiting for me to figure out what to do with them, they are ready to use.
And THAT is the part that makes me happy.
When I’m ready to make a scrap quilt, I don’t have to start by sorting, pressing, and cutting. I can open a box, pull out what I need, and start sewing.
Of course, looking at all these boxes makes one thing perfectly clear…
I have a LOT of scraps.
