To avoid your machine from eatting the small pieces of fabric, "crumbs", I ues a foundation, either paper, or muslin. I have been saving the pieces to make a mosaic quilt. I have a picture of my DH that I just love, and will be making a quilt with te crumbs, and his picture printed onto graph paper.
And sis, you are silly!

I use the "buckets" that cat litter comes in (From Sam's)..I have them labeled with the square scrape sizes, like 3", 4" etc.....and I have them on an old shelf that I got years ago at K Mart..I know when the bucket gets full, its time to use those scraps to make a scrappy quilt...

Me too! Good grief I can't even imagine counting them all much less putting them altogether. It takes a special person to be able to do this.

Evidently I need to find someone who drinks this brand of coffee. :lol:
