buying scrap bags
#12
Thanks..I will have to give them a try. I really like scrappy and this is a great way to get a good mix of fabrics.
The best scrap bags I ever ordered online were the "Stripper's Delight" bags from eQuilter.com. I needed as many completely different fabrics as possible for a scrappy strip quilt. I was just a beginner and did not have much of a stash or scrap system at the time. (THAT quickly changed !). So I ordered this 5-Pound Bag of Fabric strips:

I ordered two of these at different times & was really happy with the variety. They are strips of different widths/sizes and I used some of them for a crochet basket project also. I used my Go Baby to make cleanly cut 2.5" strips, 2" blocks, or even small tumblers & bricks. There were some *very* skinny strips (1" or less) that I couldn't use, but not too many. I would definitely order one again just because scraps are a really fun grab bag -- full of fabrics you would never have bought yourself, but are perfect for scrappy quilting. (I really loved the Asian fabric scraps with gold thread in them!)
