I am very conservative, especially with my fabrics.
I cut my quilt pieces carefully, so there is little waste.
Making my blocks smaller/larger to fit the fabric I am using.
If I run out of a fabric, I head for my stash instead of my LQS
for a fabric to subsitute that will coordinate with the
fabrics I am working with.
The scraps are saved for scrap quilts/crazy quilts.
Small pieces I know I won't use, under 2 inches, I toss
or save for starters when piecing triangles.
Being on a fixed income and fabric $8.00-$10.00
I don't waste fabric. :thumbup:
