I save a lot as I adore scrappy quilts and mini quilts. January is my official scrap month. I make quilts for donation all during January with my scraps. This year I have started organizing my scraps on the first 2 days of the month because I sewed scraps all the way through March. I stopped in March because I decided that was enough! It is going to have me all ready to just sew in January! I cut 2 1/2" strips and color coordinate them until I have enough for a jelly roll, 1 1/2" strips, 2 1/2" squares. 1 1/2" squares, 1 1/2"x5 ", etc.
