Playing well together - cutting scraps
Within the last month someone posted a thread about cutting scraps into specific usable piece sizes such as 2.5" squares, 5 inch squares, etc. I think that the title was something about playing well together. The main idea was cutting pieces so that they would work well together to form blocks. I have searched under many different things in the advanced search but haven't been able to find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bonnie Hunter has a scrap user's system:
http://quiltville.com/scrapusersystem.shtml She has scores of free patterns on her site that use the sizes she suggests. |
There were some ladies out in Yuma with a system they copyrighted as "A Quilter's Lumberyard" that focused on finished 2" segments. So, the cut segments with seam allowance added were similar to this.
2 1/2" squares 2 1/2" by 4 1/2" rectangles 4 1/2" square 2 1/2" by 6 1/2" rectangles Another thread where the Lumberyard System was discuss: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...g-t125732.html edited to add: I have never participated in any of this scrap system, so I am not sure how big they went to with the length's or squares. I think any multiple of 2" finished block would be appropriate. |
I don't cut my scraps until I have something I am going to work on.
