Hi Susan! :D I'm sure you'll be getting into as much "scrap-happy" trouble as I have. It's easier than you think! There are lots of good books out there, and the internet's a wealth of ideas. If you have a lot of odds and ends fabrics, maybe you're just overwhelmed. You might start by sorting your fabrics into different types (30's, novelty, florals, solids, whatever) Wash 'em, get 'em ironed and sorted. Once you see what you have to work with, take a peek at the sites the other quilters here have posted. If you like a certain style of block, or if the thought of turning those scraps into "strings" strikes your fancy, you'll be off and running before you know it!
