    Not a place to buy, but one of my guilds has a free table where people dump their scraps. It's a good place to pick up relatively small pieces of fabric to jazz up a scrap quilt.

    Sometimes in the classified section/thrift shop of this board there are boxes of scraps for sale , more than reasonably priced. Consider putting your own ad in the "insearch of" section of this board , there are more than a few members that have lots of scraps and would consider selling them at a reasonable price.

    My LQS has a scrap bin, that you get to pick out your own fabric/colors and 'stuff' it in a specific size bag for a few dollars.

    I bought a scrap bag from mybluebamboo a short time ago and was very happy with it. I'm collecting fabrics for an appliqué quilt and need a large variety of colors, but don't need big pieces. The scrap bag fit the bill.

    I bought scrap bags for crazy quilting from LQS. It contained so many fun fabrics from quilting cotton to crushed silk.

    I shop here all the time for quality quilting cotton grab bags by the pound. Very inexpensive.

    Save your pennies and fly out for Keepsake Quilting's tent sale next June. You can make your own scrap bag. They have oodles of boxes of odd sized cuts. Whatever you can put in a bag they give you is 6$!! I average about 86 cents a yard!!!
