    I only emptied one and half bins of scraps plus the pile and I vow right now to never let them get a head of me again!

    Famous last words! They look so pretty all cut and stacked!

    Wow, way to go! You did a great job organizing them. Much better than my pile of wrinkled scraps!

    I think you did great. Now you can find something when you need it. I really need to do this, too!

    Any progress is good progress. I am so easily distracted these days I am thrilled to finish anything.

    Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your pink and green! My fav colors! And the paisley ironing board cover is the cherry on top!

    Thanks I really like the pink and green too. The ironing board cover was the most challenging to make, but I have it figured out now!

    I swear my scraps take a deep breath and expand when I try to organize them.

    Every time I make a scrappy quilt I think my scraps have doubled. tjk829 -- I have been doing the same thing you did, but I have been cutting strips too when I have longer pieces.
