    Default What do your quilt scraps say about you?

    When going through my scraps to make a scrap quilt I realized my scraps say a lot about me. What I found out first was I'm on my way to being a hoarder. Second I tend to use more red in my quilts than other colors. Third I steer away from large prints. Fourth my fabric types are more traditional. All being said I think I'm a conservative traditional quilter who likes a little spice (red) in her life. What do your scraps say about you?

    My say my favorite colors are green, blue and purple. I tend to hoard them, too. I am trying to make better use of my scraps this year. I am on my second scrappy quilt and still can't get the lid on the tubbie. Please don't tell me to buy a bigger tubbie.....I already did and it's too full.

    I think my stash says that I am a cheerful person and apparently I don't like flowers (which is true).

    My scraps aren't plentiful so that says that I need to sew more to make more.

    My scraps tell me I rarely encounter a fabric I don't like or find a use.

    My scraps told me to stop saving them and not do anything with them. So they all got bagged up for the guilds use. I already used the fabric once, or twice...no need to use it again. And it felt absolutely wonderful to get them all out of there!

    Your description of you could be about me, too, exactly. A conservative traditionalist who likes a bit of spice...for me, red and yellow.

    Mine says I'm a Magpie that loves loud colors and big prints. I'm in the process of making my scraps into hst or flying geese blocks of a similar size so I'll have working units with which to play. Which of course creates more scraps. I'm sensing a problem here. : )
