I am free! All scraps are gone!

Our church is fortunate to get donations of fabric and scraps. Well I am the keeper of scraps and I am in seventh heaven. I am working on two bags full and I just love seeing all the surprise fabrics. I love ironing them, cutting them into 10, 6, 4in blocks and 2 1/2 strips. I could do this all day.

If there are any problems, the quilt shops would still be able to get more fabric in or still have it on their shelves. I also wouldn't have a huge storage closet in one of my bedrooms. Maybe I should do what you have done. Thanks for the inspiration.

Everything unwanted and smaller than that was given away. Small! But there were tons of people who wanted them. It takes a long time for a scrap quilter to have enough scraps to give away, but I feel so clean and happy now.
