Looking good. I try and keep up with them as suggested by Bonnie Hunter. It's a great way to just jump right in and start a scrappy quilt without the bother of cutting.

Great job! I have been trying to do some sorting and organizing also. Like you, I still have a long way to go!

Wow that is fantastic! That was seriously a great job. Want to come do mine?

Also I like this idea

Next time, I think I would do it differently. Instead of cutting the largest square I could out of a scrap and then cutting the next largest out of the same scrap, etc., I think I will sort the scraps by coordinating colors and choose one size to cut a bunch. For example, if I had six coordinating scraps I would cut them all into the same size block, such as 5 inches. The next set of coordinating blocks I might cut to 6 1/2 inches and so forth. That way I can do a more controlled scrappy quilt.

Great job! I have the Go Cutter for a lot of different squares so wouldn't have to cut them by rotary. I'm inspired the way yours look so organized!

What an awesome job. Thanks for counting all your finish pieces and giving me fresh inspiration.

Good job! Beautiful fabric! I also cut my scrap batting up in squares for quilt as you go blocks.

Nicely done. I like Joan Ford with 'Scrap Therapy" as well as Bonnie Hunters scrap system.
