I love love love scraps. My quilt store has a bucket of scraps that I like to go diving in every so often. I wish there were more online stores that sold just scraps because whenever I get a piece of fabric that is big as a 1/8th, I have a hard time considering that a scrap. I love it when I get a pile of scraps from someone and I look through them and see all the fun fabrics I never would have thought to buy! I just recently sorted my scraps by color and they look so purty!! (I am sorely lacking in greens and purples though!)

Anyway, so my question is this …. I have all these pieces of fabric that are like 1/8 strips to fat quarters and I keep them separate from my scraps. There aren’t enough of those that really match to make a quilt out of, but I have a hard time considering them scraps. So what would you do if you were me? I am considering just chopping them up into smaller pieces and using them as scraps because if I keep them whole I know I won’t use them. But I feel like if I do this then I will want bigger pieces to use one day. Argh!!!! I am having such a hard time with this!

Cheers!
