I went yesterday to a local Goodwill and bought the three patterns shown here for $2.50 each.
Next I went to the local Ben Franklin and bought enough easter fabric to make one of those 60 degree cut table runners. The fabric here in this out of the place store was beautiful...and only about $4 a yard. There's nothing like the feel of a cut of fabric just off of the bolt.
I've inherited a bunch of fabric scraps from my aunt and have sorted them by color. The realization is that I don't like to use these scraps in my projects. I really enjoy the "hunt" for fabric for my new projects and I love that I can connect the scraps "I" create to a project that I've finished. I've started to take all of these unwanted orphan scraps and cut them into 2.5 inch strips to make some sort of stripped quilt just to get the fabric used and out of my stash. Is that a terrible thing to do? Am I a scrap snob?
