Good for you. With every quilt just comes more scraps. I think it is impossible to use them up.

I have that die also and love it. Your colors look like they will be fun to work with.

No matter how I try, my scraps multiply and divide at night!

Off to a good start! I cut usable pieces such as tumblers, pyramids, etc. each time I use a fabric. Now if I would just sew them into quilts! LOL

It's a start. And if you made a bunch More and take them to the retreat, maybe you can give them away in groups of 25 as "gifts" to your fellow quilters.
