I haven't made a scrappy quilt, yet, but am quite inspired by the onesI see here.
Well, I have come a long way, baby!
I ordered a set of six clear tubs/lids to separate scraps by color. I made 2 stacks of 3 containers. The solids are inside a baggie in the tub. I still have a larger tub with multi-colored pieces that needs to be sorted, but quilting gets in the way.
BTW, I love scrappiness!
