I used to give them to my daughter but after my last trip to the quilt shop and spending an arm and leg on 4 years of fabric Im keeping every single scrap. Maybe separate colors into coffee cans.
Im loving sampler quilts right now, so I might as well save all my pieces of gold wait I mean fabric.

I've always saved leftover scraps from garment making, and I guess the first scrappy quilt was the one made from Granddaughters scraps. And from leftover cut pieces from that one, Ive started a tabletopper. I was raised to recycle fabrics by my mom, so it is just natural for me too. I've made a couple of queen size butterfly quilts using clothing from my daughters clothing. Right now , after several years of not doing much sewing, the scrap box is rather low, so now I can start saving again.
