Can someone tell me what this is? It's something about cutting strips to make quilt blocks, I think.

I have never heard of it. I will be watching...

Edit: I googled and it is a system of cutting your scraps into sizes that you will use.

Never heard of it so I will be watching to see what everyone else says.

Mr Google told me .... A Quilter’s Lumberyard® is a unique system of scrap management. Use the “lumberyard” approach to cut, organize, and store scraps in usable sizes and you are always ready to sew gorgeous scrappy quilts.

This system is Trademarked and has a Copyright. It is by Cheryl Coffman and Patty Bowers.

I too just googled it - this is not unlike the Scrap Therapy system. They too have you cut scraps into usable manageable sizes. Do your own system.

Sounds like a full time job.

And this is supposed to be about fun? ... I'll skip working in the lumberyard before I start!! :lol:

I considered doing this once I bought an accuquilt go.

I don't like the lumberyard or cut as you go system. I keep pieces smaller than a quarter yard in a pile by itself. Smaller pieces go into my scrap bags sorted into lights, mediums and darks. When I want enough for a sample block or an applique I haven't already cut it into small blocks or shapes that have to be used for a specific purpose. I just cut as needed for specific projects.

I'm of the "sort it but don't cut it" school of thought.

My dark / medium / light scraps go into 3 large bins with lids.

You just never know what kind of creativity will come to you and what size or shape fabric you'll need! :)
