Shame on you CJ and BJ there are so many like me that would love to get your scraps!! probably a lot more that could use the help to their stash. Please consider saving for someone else.
Amma I had to laugh I buy 1/4 and 1/8 yds for my stash. I used to never buy anything larger than a half yard!
I keep my scraps - anything less than a 2" square size in zip lock bags. I do sort by color most of the time if I have the patience. Otherwise it all goes into a zip for sorting later. I do alot of scrappy work so use all the variety I can get. I try not to repeat any one fabric in the same projects so I like to have a lot of scraps for resource to go through when I am looking for a certain color or value.
I'm pretty careful the way I cut and I don't really throw away a lot. Trust me, I would feel awful if I felt I was being wasteful. My bits I throw away truly are very small bits. I cringe when I see E. Burns pitch pieces over her shoulder. I wonder if she goes back and picks them all up after the cameras are off.
:-D :-D :-D :-D
