I took a Scrap Therapy class about 4 years ago and started working on my scraps....pulled them from every room in the house. My husband wanted to know what I was doing as I was watching TV in the evenings. I told him that the scraps I was cutting up cost the same as the yards of fabric and I was creating fabric to use. I keep a listing of the quilts I make and am on Quilt #14.....that's 14 scrap lap quilts that were essentially "free". Since we've been doing so much with 5" squares, my project is going through my stash and cutting out 5" (nickel) squares. I put 20 of them together sometimes in color families, sometimes in fabric type (batiks, baby) and sell each pile for $2 each at my quilt guild's flea market every January. Last year, I just didn't have the time to cut and sort so didn't have a table at the flea market.....people were looking for the packets so this year I found the time to do it again. I make roughly $60-70 each year and the good part is that anything that doesn't sell, I use for projects throughout the year...they're already sorted.
