Congrats everyone, on getting so much done!
I've been trying to purge some of my scraps by actually using them up! Today I donated several scrap quilts to the charities my quilting group supports. I had a big kitty litter bucket (empty, of course) where I stored scraps after cutting for a quilt. That bucket had gotten so full that the top wouldn't snap on anymore. So the last two days I began to deal with it. Dumped it all out on the dining room table where I sew... I weeded out all the skinnier strips and made probably 50 little log cabin blocks with them, that finished at about 5" square. Then I went through the rest of the massive pile and separated out all the strips of all sizes. All the rest I cut into mostly 2.5" squares, the size I use the most. Some bigger pieces became 3.5", 4", and 5" squares, and got stored in the stacking drawers for those size squares. The rest that were good crumb size, but not big enough to make a 2.5" square, I bagged up to give away to a friend who likes to work with crumbs. Yay! The kitty litter bucket is back under control again.
