If you have a local quilt shop check with them. My lqs has fqs and f8ths that are the end of the bolt, so you can get some variety that way, and I found out last year that they have some drawers of scrap fabrics that customers can go through and pick out whatever and buy it by the pound. They look like left over pieces from samples made for the store or as class demos, and maybe people in a class donated their scraps too. At my lqs there are 12 drawers some with color themes like blues, greens, reds & orange, creams & nuetrals, mixed etc. Also lots of the shops in the Fabshophop online have scrap bags. And here too in offers section sometimes someone will offer a box of scraps for the price of the postage.
