I am getting ready to do just that! Don't make me feel weird! I already do that on my own! :lol:

I find that ironing relaxes me - especially at the end of the day when the kids are in bed and the news on. I iron my sheets and pillowcases. I had never thought about ironing scraps, but I think I will do that tonight!

My aunt (another quilter) is a firm believer that true quilters have to often touch, play with, and pet their fabric. So ironing scraps satisfies our need to do such a thing, right?

Oooh, I bet they are pretty now. I sorted my huge scrap basket by color a couple of weeks ago. It's been so helpful! I'm using more scraps.

I just ironed a bunch of scraps as I began my scrappy BOM's!! Loved it.

I don't see anything strange about ironing your scraps at all!! I need to do it some day soon myself!! Besides I bet it saves a lot of room in your scrap bin...
