After tripping over my scrap bin for the umpteenth time, I sorted them into "crumbs", "chunks", and "strips". I used Bonnie Hunter's Crumb Quilt directions, paying more attention to pieces that fit than color or pattern. At first I did tend to get "matchy", but realized later that the mismatched ones were definitely more interesting. I made 6 1/2 inch blocks, starched them heavily, than framed them with pre-cut 2 inch black borders, cutting the border strips length of fabric to eliminate as much stretch as possible. I found that the black borders really made the colors pop out and tamed all the wild piecings. So far I'm having a good time, and my "crumb" collection is really diminishing. Something from throwaways -- how "green" is that?
