Pam:
I'm very fortunate to have a quilt teacher who knows that I do lots of charity quilts so she passes on garbage bags of scraps to me about every other month. She makes tons of quilts and teaches lots of classes so she has alot of scraps all the time. I just got 2 more bags from her a couple weeks ago. All I've done with them is color sort them. They are just beautiful pieces of fabric...some 1/4 yard, some 12 inches, some 40 inches by 5 inches...whatever she cut off a quilt or had left over from a quilt she made as she said she doesn't particularly like using the same fabric in another quilt after she's already used it in a quilt. I'm very lucky to get her hand-me-downs. I also get her left over batting..perfect sizes usually to put in table runners and placemats. I was making neck cushions for awhile for the nursing/VET hospital folks so used the small bits of batting inside the cushions. That's the story of why I have 20 big plastic tubs of scraps! :lol: :lol:
