Thanks, i love CW scrap quilts. LOL , maybe I should send you my address for CW scraps! It's nice to have lots of CW 2 inch strips to just start sewing, sub-cutting them later into 3.5 inch clocks. plus then cutting 3.5 inch blocks from shirting. I just kept sewing that is why there are 5 ........7 X 7 ft quilt tops

I don't cut smaller pieces from yardage but I do cut most of my scraps into 2 1/2" squares or various sizes of strips

I make pre-cuts from my some of my fat quarters and my scraps. I cut them into strips which are 2.5", 2 ", and 1.5", squares 5" and 10". I put them into pull drawers (tall tower styles with drawers) labeled by size. I do not sort by color. I have used these into many quilts for charity and family.
I figure that if it works out to usable yardage it is expensive to go to a quilt shop when I have these in the color I can use.

Ppquilter- your quilt tops are beautiful!

I don’t cut yardage or fatquarters until I’m ready to use it. Scraps- anything fat quarter size or larger gets stored as is. Other scraps get sorted by color and stored together. I used to cut them into precut sizes, but haven’t done so for a while due to time constraints. I don’t worry about bias when cutting my scraps.

I cut down to 5" squares, 2 1/2" squares and 2 1/2" strips. The strips could always to cut down further to 2 1/2" squares if needed.

Thanks, I couldn't possibly have been the first to think of it. One day I was about to dig out something to attach the ol' Singer Pinking Attachment to, to cut rug braiding strips, and it just popped into my head that unthreading the serger and threading it again later would be a lot easier and much faster in operation. Especially because I couldn't find the non-pinking blade for the Pinking Attachment.
