I just saw this thread tonight but love the idea of a scrap club for ideas and inspiration. Not making too much right now but hope to get into more in the coming months. Trying to get on top of a few things and finish piecing my dd quilt and then will hand quilt. but want to maybe work on some other things in between the quilting.
I see it is up to 14 pages already so maybe I can catch up tomorrow night. ;-)

I know one person has solved this week's puzzle. Has anyone else solved it?

What a darling quilt klgreen!
This fall I decided to do something big with my scraps. I don't take a big chunk and cut it into squares--sometimes that chunk is just enough to be borders in my minis.
I've gone through my 1 1/4" scraps and have a quilt about half done using from that bin cutting borders from my stash.
Next went to my 1 1/2" bin--made some checkerboard square 8 x8 to put star points on. Also have 4 1/2" squares to put star points on. Finally a bunch of 2 1/2" squares for a larger 8 x8 checkerboard. All for one +90 x 100 quilt. Lot of leaders and enders for when I do other projects.

And there's still stuff in the bins. I'm just going to keep at it for a while.

She told me that she would gather quite a few, stick them in her dishwasher and wash them on regular cycle, dish soap and all to get them sanitized. I would have never guessed that would work. Just thought some of you might like to know this.

I have to decline on this one. Still struggling to get Christmas cards ( and ecards) out but I still like to write a note in each one. Perhaps I will take you up on this challenge if you do one in January. :-)
