I love to read how efficient each one of you quilters are with your scraps. I quilt for a charity only. They give me scraps to work with. Sometimes I receive a panel--like a book panel. Or just a piece of fabric with one main animal or theme, like a dinosaur or one care bear. Ladies, take one or even several of these printed scraps, put them up on your display board. Now sew up some scraps in a clever pattern and fill in around the main theme of the quilt.
Use print fabric scraps and plain ones. In fact, you can call it a conversation style quilt. You will use up your scraps slowly, but use them up! I sometimes use some orphan blocks to "fill in" an area. It truly is a "unique" way to quilt and help a charity, and use up your scraps that you feel are a burden. Try it.
