Sad to say, I have not figured out a really efficient way to tame the ever elusive scrap bin. Honestly, I am so tired of making scrappy quilts that from time to time I consider just give them all away. I have not gone out to shop for a specific fabric for a specific quilt in years. Admittedly, I do pick up fabric bargains and have a good stash but the scrap bin wears me out. Oh, boo-hoo! Whine, whine, whine. I really am blessed to have so many scraps that can be made into beautiful quilts.
