I have a large amount of scraps in cardboard boxes and one big old trunk filled with them. Most of them are older 50s and 60s pieces. I decided that I needed to organize them. Started yesterday and emptied a box on the bed. OMG! It was overwhelming, so many types and colors, so I just cleaned off the bed and put them in a tote. Any suggestions? I would like to clean and press them, sort them, etc.

I just did this last week. I sorted colors then put them in zipper bags. Then put them in a tote.
BTW, I think I have some of the same fabric....LOL... |
Lots of help/suggestions here -and your helpers look so ready to get started!

Oh no, you have tooo much help LOL, i would begin by fabric type, then by size, put the bigger pieces seperately by colors,then i would cut the scraps into squares and strips.
Love your avatar, he looks just like My cat MUggy. |
Catagorize into crumbs, strips, blocks and larger. Have a box or bag ready for each catagory and go for it! Have fun!
|
The puppies were just trying to help you! They were testing if that fabric was comfy or not.
|
good luck with that
|
Maybe your helpers want their own scrappy quilts and want to pick their scraps?

lol - I spent the whole day Saturday doing that! Finished 2 drawers and one box! Still have boxes to do [groan].
I do have the address for an American servicewoman in Afghanistan that has a quilting group going at a local orphanage -- she does take donations! |
I love the reason why you gave up!
I have two of those reasons too. They are more fun than sorting. Don't sort, put them in a bag and start making a crumb quilt out of it. Before you know, all of it is gone and another wonderful project has been made. :-P |
