I think you will have a nice selection of scraps to make a beautiful quilt!!

Great job and some beautiful fabrics there. I am working my way through 'hoarded' clothing - I desperately need some quilts/seat cover quilts for my trusty stationwagon. Have almost completed one....that's one bagload off my workroom floor.

Every winter I set up a card table and tackle a "clean, sort, organize" project. The past two years' projects were buttons and floss. This year's is scraps. I'm constantly saving and using them and want to be able to instantly find the perfect piece I need. (I already know that next year's project will have to be magazines!)

Wonderful use of your scraps. You will have some seriously nice quilts.

My mother-in-law recommended doing something similar several years ago. She suggested always cutting strips and squares in common sizes whenever I'm cutting for another project. It's a simple matter to cut a few extra strips and then they're ready when you need them. I also like to go down to my sewing room and cut strips and common squares when I'm not working on a project. I find that pulling out the fabric helps to inspire and when I have a project in mind, I'm impatient with cutting. So this is a great time to sort through scraps and small pieces and prepare for future scrappy projects. I don't have any larger squares in my cut scraps (I think that about 6" is the biggest). I'll have to think about the larger squares. Thanks for sharing and I'm sure that you'll find plenty of uses for your scraps and I look forward to future pictures of finished projects.
