I understand being thrifty, that's how I ended up with a lot of scraps. I don't use them, the only scrap quilt I made was a string piece and I won't do another, too many seams and the quilt is very heavy. If that is all the fabric I had then yes of course I'd use scraps and be happy to have them. Like I said I have too much yardage and pre cuts. I would rather use those while I am able instead of using any scraps. Leaving the new pretty fabric for someone else to use? Why?
