Way back someone mentioned scraps ... I LOVE scraps. I have a bad case of cutter's remorse whenever I snip into a measured out piece of fabric. I like the challenge of scrap quilts but hate "ruining" a fat quarter for a 5" or less square. Somehow scraps are less painful to use. I made a resolution to work off my stash this year. I save all pieces for string or crumb quilts for charity or "comfort" quilts for those in need. I'm currently working on a "confetti" quilt, which is lots of fun and a great stress reliever. So please, don't throw away your scraps!!! They have so much potential ...
