Since I am just beginning quilting and have been basically clothing sewing I definitely have a lot of scraps. I just recently sorted all by color and the smaller pieces I have been cutting into 2.5 inch squares and storing them by color. I really like HST. I'm working on my first quilt for one of my granddaughters. I'm loving it. Trying to convince husband that I need new machine but he's not buying into my theory.
