The whole magazine is based on a plan to use up a lot of scraps in a systematic way and also to have them stored so they are more usable. i have not read the whole plan, but it started with pressing all the scraps and cutting them into three specific sizes. She says those sizes play well together. Then you sort them by color, or theme maybe. They will stack easily and take up much less room then the piles of scraps.
Then in the magazine there are 10 projects of quilts and things to use them for. I am thinking that once you had the system figured out you could use them for so much more then just those projects.
So, anyway, I thought you would all like to hear about this magazine and the great ideas. Some people probably already know about this and do it, but it was new to me.
I received this same magazine 'Quilt Your Stash' as a gift whilst on holidays in Hawaii recently and I must say I am impressed. It's a great magazine and I know I am going to get a lot of use from it. There are some really great projects and ideas in the magazine and the patterns are easy to follow and beautifully illustrated. Top magazine.
Thank you for sharing.
