Some more ideas needed for scraps?
 
Yes, you are right, I am scrap addicted: there are lots of them.... My family is calling me "Mother of all Scraps"....
As there are stripes without end I make place mats out of them, very colorful and very "immune" to stains: we have 5 little grandkids...

Oh. Great idea for your scraps. I may have to use this idea for some placemats

I love the rainbow table! Beautiful work.

Thanks for the great ideas! I've been using up scraps, too. Maybe some new placemats are in my future.

I just told someone I use ALL scraps so if you’re throwing them out don’t . I will take them! They think I’m crazy for fooling with small pieces. When I showed my niece something I made with the scraps she didn’t want she thought it was so pretty. I reminded her it was made from scaps I offered her! You have prettier, brighter scraps than me and great ideas. Thank you for sharing your work and ideas.

I had to laugh with you toogie, everyone thinks I am crazy too. I go to a small quilt group (really just a few people-not a quilt guild) or will when we can again. Everyone there saves their scraps for me, they are amazed when I bring in projects and they find their fabrics in it. But lets face it, it is time consuming and not for everyone. I LOVE scrappy and small, but not miniature.

Cute scrap projects! I have a clothes hamper almost full of scraps that I will have to do something with eventually.

These are so fun! Great way to utilize scraps. Do the grandkids have their own special colors?

Great scrap projects. Gives me some great projects to think about.

Love the items in the first photo. I never think to make placemats for some reason. Will have to add them to my list of "to do's"!

I also love to make scrappy quilts. I make most of my donation quilts out of scraps.

Your placemats are very pretty.

I also love scraps. I have made quite a few throw sized donation tops but love using them for bags.

You are the queen of scraps. Love what you do with them.

very nice, there are some table runners out there that use scraps but for the life of me I cannot remember the names, I have made a few.

I have been trying to use my scraps as well, and will be bookmarking this for inspiration!
