I loved the idea of sorting my scraps by lignt medium and dark, mine has been in a big barrel as long as I can remember. I haven't seen the bottom pieces for a long time. Thanks for the great idea, and I like the baggie idea. :-P :-P

For those on here that are serious about using up what they have I just came across the stashbusters list and tho I've only joined 3 days ago I can tell you these ladies are very serious about this and have some great ideas even for the smallest of those string scraps for those who can't stand to throw any fabric pieces away. So if you need a little more help, motivations you might check it out.

Muriel - Where do find the stashbusters list. I have been making small things like bookmarks, etc from my scraps but would like more ideas. I am also going to take up the challenge of a scrap quilt.

I started that last year.... and still cutting . The pcs are 1.5 x 1.5 and sqs and the other is a retangle. I have been collecting anythig I can get a 2 in sq out of and want to have as many dif fabs as I can. We have a community scrap box at our local Q shop and can trade scraps.... I have over 800 pce alread cut. My friend has made 2 of these quilts already... I am having a problem for the dark sq's I will get working on it some more so maybe I will get it done this year....

I have gone to the quiltville site and have just about chosen my first try at a scrap quilt. I have it narrowed down to either the the Crayon Box or the Crumbs, Crumbs, Crumbs. I want one that has a very scrappy look. I have been out of the mood to sew for the last month (too much sewing this fall) and now I am getting excited to get things going.

So, this will be the urging I need to get something done with them.

If you decide to do the Crayon Box .. "Quiltblockswappers" is Yahoo group doing a block swap using Bonnie's pattern (they got permission first ;) . Rules are 'none' because it's scrappy :D :D :D ... 12 block due (this is the good part!) April 25, 2010....gives everyone time and think of the pretty blocks you'll get in exchange :lol:
If you're interested come on over ... :thumbup: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Quiltblockswappers/
