Mine are saying get yourself off that computer and get in here and sew!!!!

That my fabric tastes regarding prints and colors has changed a great deal over my 20+ year quilting journey. Also that my taste in fabric quality has improved dramatically.

Mine say I do a lot of children's quilts! Those scraps don't always play well with others, so they are only fit for a children's scrappy.

This is a fun thread... thanks for starting it!

Ditto this, plus that I don't use a lot of solids, but getting better at it! I also don't make enough for myself! ;)
I can do 3.5" crumb blocks for quilts for others-not me. I like controlled scrappy. I love pink, yet need more in stash. Also says I need to do a few quilts using batiks.

My scraps basically tell me I need more sleep to make less scraps, (if only) I love color, reds & blues are my favorites with lots of other vibrant scraps in there too! They also say I need a much bigger container!! I don't work with a lot of flowery prints, I'm a traditional quilter who loves nature, but use bright colors in childrens quilts and ones with darker backgrounds. I don't like black & switch calls for black with navy blue. I love going through them to add a bit more color to a quilt I'm working on. They've even saved my backside a few times when I needed another little piece to finish a quilt!

"Mad as a box of frogs" bits of everything.....including clothing.....all kinds of "stuff" all colours, and though not a particular lover of floral prints....a lot of those follow me home.

Mine tell a lot of lies about me because most of my quilts were made for other people, in colors and styles that don't really appeal to me personally!

There is a LOT of pink in my scrap bin, and that's my LEAST favorite color. But somehow I keep ending up making pink quilts. The pink also tends to accumulate in there because that's the last fabric I'm going to be tempted to grab for a current project. I need to do some pinky-scrappy baby quilts for charity, that's the solution to THAT issue!

They would say I'm a person who needs to create a little order in the world by cutting and compartmentalizing them into certain size brackets as I work.

Yes sewbiz this is a fun thread:)

My friends give me their small scraps because they like to see what I can make with their unusable pieces:shock:. This gives me an eclectic, diverse supply which helps take me out of my traditional mindset colored with every shade of blue with samples of all colors but Orange.

:) Members of my quilting bee exchange scrap buckets each Christmas -- it is interesting how different each collection of scraps is and how colors/fabric reflected the member-- I have collected my bee scraps for a couple of years now and plan to make a postage stamp like quilt and have started cutting my 2 1/2 inch squares and sorting them into light/dark
