new project
 

Well I took the bull by the horns this week, I am cutting all my multiple boxes of scraps into sizes, so far I have 6 boxes labeled and starting to be filled up. This is a much bigger project then I thought it would be but it is rewarding to see all the old fabrics again. Some of them I am coming across I look at them now and think what were you thinking, it is funny how your taste changes as times goes by. Once I am done I will post a picture. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Good luck with the project. It feels good to do something, doesn't it?

I started doing this in the past year, down to 1 bin full to be cut anything WOF and over 1 foot is sorted by color and labeled lg scraps. rest is cut into strips and squares. Over 12 inches is wraped on board and placed back into my stash as yardage. when doing a project always go to lg scraps first to find something that I need.So far it is working well. I have also taught myself that after finishing a project, cut all scraps from that project. Takes a lill extra time as you clean up but not adding to my scrap bin feels so good! LOL Good luck with yours

I so need to do this!

Good for you! You'll find it so much easier to start using up those scraps after they've been cut and organized.

I need to do this too. It certainly seems overwhelming though. This will be a good New Year's goal!

I have been doing this also. I have been cutting strips, 3.5, 2.5 and 2 inch blocks. It's a good thing I bought large totes, they seem to be filling up fast.

I find it easier to just give away the scrap bin..hehehe
lately it fills up too fast!

Good project for the new year for me. I haven't gone through and reorganized my boxes in a while and they do need it.

This is what I do when I am soo incapacitated that I'm not sewing or quilting. It doesn't matter that much if I do make a mistake as it is just scraps. Unfortunately it is that time again for me. So, I'll be doing what you are.
