Wow, excellent job on that. I know it will take me forever to just get a box of selvages with the colors on them. I am saving for a funky lamp project and have the lamp already.

Everytime I make a quilt I have more scraps, I have made lots of quilts and just have a medium plastic bin about half full. I keep making quilts and keep buying fabrics so, will not be using the scraps up anytime soon, but, I will keep hoping and hanging onto them, just in case.

Wow that is nice of you. I know I have some fabrics that I get sick of (don't shoot me) but I've looked at them over and over and just can't decide what to do, I've given some to my best friend, my granddaughter etc. But I would love to start all over. I might have some to give away too as long as folks are willing to pay the postage or maybe my local goodwill will take them, just don't know what to do but I do like your idea. I would just like to feel FREE again too lol

I don't know how but I have made 4 quilts in the last few months from scraps, and the containers barely seem dented. What are those scraps doing when I"m not looking??
My hats off to you, wish I could get to that same happy feeling when all the scraps are gone.

Everything unwanted and smaller than that was given away. Small! But there were tons of people who wanted them. It takes a long time for a scrap quilter to have enough scraps to give away, but I feel so clean and happy now.

It would take three boxes of liquor for me to get through all of that................. :) :)

I'm with you! :lol: :lol: :lol: If you get to missing your scraps, I have some I can send you.
