go to thrift shops on bag day and stuff it with mens shirts - they make excellent scrap choices.

You can buy tons of scraps on eBay. I have bought them before and they turn out pretty good.

Post in the " In Search of " category" .. and offer a swap ... I am sure lots would offer boxes of scraps in exchange for a fat quarter or more. Some would just want the money for postage.

Go to craftconn.com, they have several bags of scraps for sale. They are divided into different types, such as animals, flowers ect.

When ever you go to the fabric stores check the mark down aisle. Take the ones that have less then a yard-Most FS's will give you an end of bolt price cut on top of the reduced price. 2nd hand stores will have fabrics or pick out some large dresses-skirts and men's shirts. It does not take long to get enough fabric to do a scrappy or even to start a stash for future scrappy's.

Thank you so much! I ordered 4 pounds: 2 pounds of solids, a pound of brights, and a pound of pinks. I think this will be better than soliciting donations where the colors might not fit my style. Shipping was expensive (so used to free shipping) but probably realistic.

Very excited

When I first began quilting, I would order the scrap bags from Keepsake Quilting - they had a wonderful assortment of fabrics and colors. I'm pretty sure that Moda has them available from a variety of quilt stores on line. Also, check the remnant bin at JoAnn's or any quilt store, they are bound to have something you could use.

A lot of my scraps originally came from swaps. For example, right now I am cutting for a two inch swap ... 2.5 inch "noodles" are also very popular. When those squishy packages start arriving it always feels like Christmas!

Lol! You are still so funny!

You said your friends laugh at your idea of a stash and not one offered to share? I think most quilters would have buried you with scraps if only you ask.
