I too have 2 huge tukbs of scraps and a huge plastic bag. Starting to make Lil Twister quilts and THAT MAKES EVEN MORE SCRAPS!!

Scraps are like a big hamper full of guilt, for me. Why aren't you using this? This is wasteful! Why haven't you started the scrap quilts, yet? Why haven't you sorted me? We're all in a jumble here - not even pressed!

So, every now and then, I go through my scrap hamper and set aside only the things that I know I will use again. (and that is virtually nothing) Everything else is given away. I don't tend to put the really small scraps into the hamper, so I know that quilters who love scrappy projects will be able to use the stuff.

Then I breathe a big sigh of relief to have that hamper empty again.

Lol....my scraps are telling me the same thing!! I just need to use them up. :)

they breed you never use them up :lol: :lol: :lol:

i only have about 2gallons of scraps, even the itsy-bitsy pieces .... i'm gonna start a crumb quilt! then one day, i'll have enough scrap blocks to make a whole quilt!

Just about the time I think I can get rid of mine somebody comes up with the prettiest quilts that they have made with THEIR scraps and i think..Again... I can do that. =)
