    This is truly a scrap quilt the way your are collecting and reusing fabrics. That is fabulous. I love to make scrap quilts. I will save scraps that others would throw away. I have been known to pull fabric out of the trash. I call these quilts my "trash quilts", but to me they are a treasure. I, however, use all my quilts and enjoy them. The only time I would have a tough time using them is if they were all hand appliqued/quilted, then I would have to use them a little more sparingly.

    I have done the same thing with scraps, 2 1/2" squares. I Have probably 20 random rows together. It is like a trip down memory land whenever I work on it. Someday... I thought this would use up my scraps. As I look at it not it could be rather long. maybe a football field if I use all my scraps. lol

    I love scrappy quilts!!! Do you know what you're going to do with them? I have a basket under a table that I throw scraps into and every once in awhile I stack them in the Accucut and make squares out of them.

    I've also been haunting Goodwills lately. Last week I picked up five "big" skirts and after washing, pressing and cutting into pieces (no squares yet!), wound up with about Six yards of fabric for $5.00! I love the tiered, batik skirts made in the Far East -- three or four coordinating fabrics, at least a quarter yard each. Awesome!
