Love your ideas with the scraps. I recently took a class at the local quilt store and asked if I could collect the scraps. I used them for applique on GS baby quilt. Remember, someones trash is someone elses treasures.

No joke! Good of you to do that! I did that once at a class and they thought I was nuts. Too bad for them. I am the one with the overflowing scrap box now!

Check out the crumb tute - it's really easy and fun - I found myself making a block here and there between other things and tossing it in a drawer - one day I'll surprise my self with enough for a quilt!
