I saved scraps from all the projects I made for my family and started making them into quilts to get them used up....they seem to multiply instead of diminish .. I have gotten rid of large bags of small scraps..and now I read about scrap painting so I have little scraps sorted in colors in zip bags and will try doing that one of these days
Seems like a picture of life.. God takes are little scrapes and turns them into some beautiful things..kinda interesting how it all works. if we turn things over to Him!

Right now, I don't buy much large pieces of fabrics, except for neutrals and fabrics that I can use as sashings for my scrappy quilts. I ma trying to use up the fabric that has been given to me, but no matter how many scrappy quilts I make, my pile of scraps never seems to get any smaller!
