Gemm: Like petthefabric, I calculate square inches and then divide it by 1440 (36 x 40). I write that total down on lined paper when the top/quilt is finished. Date, amount, quilt name, and where it is going. Most of my fabric has been donated to my church group and I don’t tally up what I bring home. Over the years, I have brought home a lot of scraps! Now I mostly bring home some yardages that will compliment my scraps. I do try to keep a list of fabric purchased Because I give the quilt tops back to my church group to finish, I can complete a lot of quilt tops in a year. It doesn’t seem like my scraps go down, however. 🤷♀️
Notwendy: I would have loved watching you get your jumbo bag filled. Way to go!
polkweed: Welcome to the forum. I have seen some great finished backs. Are you piecing your leftovers into blocks like a log cabin or Shoo Fly and then incorporating them or are you using the big pieces and putting them together like a puzzle? Just Get It Done quilts has ideas for both methods.
