I am afraid to cut them, what if I needed a different size but it was too small. I donate the little scraps to a lady who makes dog beds for a shelter. Or toss them outside for some beautiful bird nests!Jane's Fabrics and Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317443286432117072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-59837670517714395112015-02-05T11:13:12.483-05:002015-02-05T11:13:12.483-05:00I've recently begun quilting - in the last yea...I've recently begun quilting - in the last year, but I have a healthy bunch of scraps multiplying in my studio space. I started just throwing them in a drawer - but that got messy and as it grew I knew I was getting into trouble - LOL. I started trying to cut as I went along - when done cutting for a project- I cut the largest pieces possible right then and there - usually 5" squares and stacking them neatly in one big pile. This worked great - FOR AWHILE - until one time I didn't do that - and you can imagine what happened then! Now I have a huge mess - I just bought some more plastic storage bins and am trying to figure out just how I want to manage this issue. How do you store your scraps?Pamela Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116933762608408683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-29020992613309049362015-02-05T09:41:28.182-05:002015-02-05T09:41:28.182-05:00Wow - that's a lot of cutting!

I'm making hexies, Dresdens, and many other patterns. I barely made a dent in my blue scraps in January, despite making a doll quilt, 12 placemats, a Dresden plate for a future quilt, etc. RSC15 should be very good for me. Can't wait to see how all your little squares turn out.sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640327513033693188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-23874088975880912122015-02-05T09:24:29.643-05:002015-02-05T09:24:29.643-05:00I'm still in the stage of thinking of what to ...I'm still in the stage of thinking of what to do with my scraps. Right now they are in a hugh container. Occasionally, they yell at me, "What are you going to do with us?" But I pretend I don't hear them pleading to be used up.
