I think that "by color" and "holiday" is a tip I have missed. I have spent HOURS cutting fabric into pieces and strips (which satisfies my obsessive/compulsive thing), and when push comes to shove - - well, you know the story - - I have to handle all sorts of bins, and pieces of fabric and pretty soon I am deciding:
My time is valuable. At this point it is cheaper to just go buy fabric or forget the project!
I am THRILLED that this thread got revived, and to learn something to new and find others excited about "scrappy" is so FUN! FUN! FUN! <wave>
I know someone wanted us to stop, but I CAN"T! LOL
