I started cutting my scraps about 6 months ago. I cut them into 2 1/2 4 1/2 5 1/2 and 6 1/2. I put them into separate buckets.
This week I started sewing. Because the strips were cut I was able to sew 40 half log cabin blocks in 3 hours. I am hoping to make a number of lap quilts for Christmas. My machine was in the shop for a good part of the summer so this was the first chance I got to sew.
