Sometimes I just want to sew. Doesn't have to be "sew something." Doesn't have to be a color, etc., etc. I just want to sit at my machine in peace and think and dream and plan and remember. That's when manufactured, just happens, let's see how big I can make this piece fabric gets made. And it gets used when it gets used.
Sewing has so very many levels and nooks and crannies to it. What I consider scraps contributes to those levels.
Enjoy your scraps. We may need them next winter.

I'm so with you on this, but when I mindlessly sew I like to make 9P's..any size. Just finished a large quilt made up of 648 1 1/2" finished 9P's.. or 5382 1" squares plus 576 squares and rectangles to make the finished blocks. Add the 71 setting squares....well you get the picture. That's a lot of s'crap'........
