any piece of fabric i have cut off from another piece of fabric and not used in that project is a scrap from that project...if it is yards...well that is a bonus scrap! most of my scraps are definitly not yards, but sometimes i love a fabric and buy a couple yards; i may make one 12" Block out of it...although not true...scraps, it is still a scrap(leftover) from that block. my stash is my scraps :thumbup: i go through phases when my scraps seem to have multiplied out of control i set aside a weekend, or a day and spend it pressing and cutting up everything smaller than a fq into what i consider (usable scraps) squares, strips, in the largest pieces i can get out of the fabric.
