After all, scraps are the beginning of quilting.

Love your little bags. Folks will enjoy them tremendously.

Love these ideas!

Never too many pictures. You're making lovely use of your valuable scraps.

WOW, your scraps quilts are great, you inspire, I am heading to my sewing room to cut and organize my 3 boxes of scraps.

Very valuable indeed!! Thank you for the visual reminder. We Paid good money for those scraps. And, bonus, they are very versatile.

I too love working with squares. You can do so many different things. But, basic patchwork is a wonderful thing! Although, I am hooked on triangles right now.

And, I love your little purses.

[QUOTE=1000scraps;8125052 Hello, it is only a roughly measurement, I weighed 1 m of Kona Cotton fabric! If I suppose that other fabrics weigh less then there will be more than 15 m of scraps! And one question: what means "Museimer"?[/QUOTE]

We haven't heard yet: "what means "Museimer". I don't know either.

Aurora: Please tell me what "locker hooking" is.

After my love of touching fabric, comes my love for collecting scraps. Several people from the senior center I sew at, save their scraps (little squares, strips and triangles) for me and I put them in a plastic bag. I am always amazed when someone cuts a quilt down for binding and then just throws the extra fabric and batting away. Yesterday, I retrieved fabric from 2 people about to throw their scraps away.

As you say, the fabric adds up to yardage and as high as cotton prices are getting, I can't imagine throwing away money like that. I pick up pennies off the ground because 10 pennies still make a dime and 10 dimes still make a $1.00.

On the other hand, after buying quilting gizmos that I just have to have because they look like they will save time or make something easier and then never use them again, I also can be 'penny wise and pound foolish." Go figure...

Muhseim means making an effort. The original poster uses it to mean someone who makes a big effort.
