Just Can't Throw Away Those Scraps
#13
Going to try these photos one more time...I think I made about 3 yds of fabric out of that 1 pile of scraps. Can barely tell I used any from that stack. I think it worked, I think it worked, I think it worked!

Yup it's hard to throw fabric away. I figure at just $9 a yard an inch of fabric from selvage to selvage is a Quarter. Pretty soon those quarters make a $ and off you go.
Oh I really like the this last quilt--definitely a Modern quilt! Thanks for sharing

Hey, that looks great. And why not use those scraps? Look at all the yardage you got! With the cost of fabric these days we all want to get the most we can from our purchases. Your quilts look like they belong in an art gallery.

Very nice use of scraps. I do throw away anything not 2" square. I do keep 1" strips if long enough. I am making a scrappy also. Seems such a waste of time because I have lots and lots of yardage I should be making up. Oh well.
