This is what I've been doing too. Slowly but surely I've been emptying six huge drawers of fabric. Large enough pieces go on comic boards, smaller pieces get cut up.

Good for you! I saw that suggestion on a National Quilter's Circle video & thought it sounds like a great idea. I plan to get going on that same project as soon as I finish my current quilt. I figure that will also help it to sell at Guild Auction if I can bundle up my scraps into strips or charms and tie with a pretty ribbon.

Congratulations on completing your project. I wish I could be that organized. I try, but then I pull fabrics from here, there and everywhere, and I've got chaos; however, I'm working on it. It's just difficult to figure out what to do with the smaller scraps and strips. You have a great solution.

You make me feel like a lazy lima bean. I've been putting the chore of sorting scraps off for months. After reading your post I told myself no more new projects and once they are sorted they will all become some ones new scrappy quilts. So my non-summer months I will be ready to start with well organized scraps and patterns.

We moved in June and my sewing room is very much a "work in progress". Glad to hear what everyone's doing with their scraps. It helps.

While in the process of getting ready to move, I have discovered 3 large plastic bins just scramble filled with scraps. I hope I can find time to trim and organize them before we go, I am going to be ready for a quilting break as soon as I get settled. What fun scraps can be when they are organized instead of just a jumble. Thanx for the motivation

I think I may have more scraps than I do fabric LOL. I need to make more scrappy quilts.

Sounds like you are getting organized...I need to...
