I struggle with scraps.

I love the PB quilt, but I wish I wouldn't have bothered to cut and keep the corners. I won't do that again. I love to keep my strips though!Laurie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230672100645122747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-33544293941561836012007-11-08T09:26:00.000-08:002007-11-08T09:26:00.000-08:00I can't save scraps.

They just don't appeal to my creative juices, so there really isn't a point to me saving my scraps.<BR/><BR/>It's a good thing we aren't all the same. Everyone else would have to like the same things as me, and then I'd never be able to find my favorite fabrics! :)DPUTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972128797520034784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-3697997698178345972007-11-08T08:48:00.000-08:002007-11-08T08:48:00.000-08:00WOW - I'm not worthy :-)!

I love to do scrappy log cabins. Also, when I start a project, if I have extra fabric, I cut off 2 l/2 inch strips to add to the bin.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755139450336905939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-9098565659709326802007-11-08T06:56:00.000-08:002007-11-08T06:56:00.000-08:00OMG that is stunning!

Although, I have been thinking of going through them and cleaning them out, I was looking for something the other day and I saw there are some pieces in there that are so small I asked myself what the heck did I keep these for. I also like to sew the double seem and get the HST bonus blocks, I have a bag of those myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-23939077794141900802007-11-08T05:12:00.000-08:002007-11-08T05:12:00.000-08:00OK, here's my plan!

Don't plan to do any sightseeing except in my sewing room (aka sweatshop). We will pull out the bins full of leftovers from every quilt I've ever made and we'll make some scrap quilts. OK, maybe we'll just plan some scrap quilts. OK?<BR/><BR/>So, when are you coming? LOL<BR/><BR/>Beautiful scrap quilt.
