I've even given my whole scrap basket away. Twice!! :shock: It multiplies in the dark, I swear it does!
This will motivate me to work harder to get this one done in time so I can (NOT) send it to k_juipiter for judging. :lol: :lol:
I totally agree. I've found it impossible to use up my scraps & strip leftovers and I use them in at least 50% of the quilts I make and donate to Linus. A large wicker laundry basket is piled high and overflowing onto the floor with shorter strips and smaller pieces. Several heavy duty clothes hangers are bending with the weight of the longer strips.
The more I use, the more I seem to have. Multiply not like rabbits (too slow) but fruit flies. In addition, I may have someone sneeking in to add some of their own to my pile since I seem to have come across a few pieces, while working on yet another scrap quilt yesterday, that I don't recognize.
