I'm working on scrappy quilts too, so thanks for all the ideas.
I have 3 bags (big ones--like 120 liter bags) of scraps...need to get them under control--a lot of backing scraps from all the charity quilts I've done--.
I am using some of the ideas here but the scrap pile doesn't seem to go down, even though I've got several quilts "under construction" (reds, blues, blacks, wilderness, bolds (all irish chains), and 5 other scrappy ones...all being worked on now currently. I just have too many scraps and want to be able to work better in my sewing room without the scraps attacking me!
I love all the pics. Thanks everyone. I want to try a scrappy log cabin! Haven't done that yet.
I just bought a roll of adding machine tape to try to sew scraps onto to help me with a border for the scrap quilt I'm almost done with.

Perfect I vote for "
sleepless in scapville"
Need to make a movie "When Scraps Attack", or "Sleepless in Scrapville". Go ahead and boo and hiss. I have a mountain of scraps that will protect me. :lol:
