I toss all scraps. I used to keep them but never used them because I don't like scrappy quilts. I only keep things big enough to cut a strip from, so I guess FQ are my minimum.
I'm a neat freak and love to throw things away. :-D |
Wow all you throw awayers. There are lots of people on the board that would love to have all those scraps. Maybe you should save them and find someone that would use them. :-D

Maybe toss the scraps into a priority box and when it is full offer it here on the board for the price of postage?
|
This is a good idea Amma!

I'm in scrap hell myself right now. Thanks to the Boomerang Swap, I have a stack of bits and pieces waiting to be sorted. All my foldable pieces go back in the color bin. The little pieces go into the tall scrap bin. In my eager-beaver mode, I decided to keep all the trimmings from my HSTs and sew them into even smaller HSTs. (trimmed they are only 1 3/4") So the madness continues. ...in the end - they are your scraps and you need to do what makes you happy. |

Use two pieces of material - sew wrong sides together - leave a 6" space to turn the fabric right side out - stuff with scrap stuff - sew 6" space together 'use your sewing machine' doggies won't care if their bed is perfectly made.This is like making a throw pillow.... Have FUN making these beds .... HAPPY EASTER.... :-D |
Oh please don't throw your scraps away. There are so many quilters on this board that would love to have them. I just gave some away and there are more wanting them but I am all out for now.

NO!!! They're crumbs and people use crumbs....not me...but other people. Why not offer them up?

Now, I keep the bigger pieces and the small ones go in the garbage.
