    I know the more I use them, the more there seem to be...I do enjoy digging in my scraps though...seems I always find a "treasure" I thought was long gone!

    I love scraps and don't mind a bit if they grow overnight in my stash. :-)

    Mmmmmm!!! I have the same "problem". But I did manage to reduce my pile of blues and greens today with a baby's quilt I'm making. But I love scraps too - so much potential - if only there was the time to match!!!

    I just want to have the time to really play with my scraps and make lots of scrappy quilts. I have lots of scraps and do use them...but not enough to keep up.

    You know those pairs of socks that you put in the washing machine and only 1 sock comes out? Well, it is fairly well known in this house that those single socks decompose into quilting scraps and tip toe from the laundry room in the middle of the night and creep into my scrap pile.
