What do your quilt scraps say about you?

Mine say I do a lot of children's quilts! Those scraps don't always play well with others, so they are only fit for a children's scrappy.
This is a fun thread... thanks for starting it!

I can do 3.5" crumb blocks for quilts for others-not me. I like controlled scrappy. I love pink, yet need more in stash. Also says I need to do a few quilts using batiks.

My scraps basically tell me I need more sleep to make less scraps, (if only) I love color, reds & blues are my favorites with lots of other vibrant scraps in there too! They also say I need a much bigger container!! I don't work with a lot of flowery prints, I'm a traditional quilter who loves nature, but use bright colors in childrens quilts and ones with darker backgrounds. I don't like black & switch calls for black with navy blue. I love going through them to add a bit more color to a quilt I'm working on. They've even saved my backside a few times when I needed another little piece to finish a quilt!

"Mad as a box of frogs" bits of everything.....including clothing.....all kinds of "stuff" all colours, and though not a particular lover of floral prints....a lot of those follow me home.

Mine tell a lot of lies about me because most of my quilts were made for other people, in colors and styles that don't really appeal to me personally!
There is a LOT of pink in my scrap bin, and that's my LEAST favorite color. But somehow I keep ending up making pink quilts. The pink also tends to accumulate in there because that's the last fabric I'm going to be tempted to grab for a current project. I need to do some pinky-scrappy baby quilts for charity, that's the solution to THAT issue!

Yes sewbiz this is a fun thread![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
My friends give me their small scraps because they like to see what I can make with their unusable pieces
. This gives me an eclectic, diverse supply which helps take me out of my traditional mindset colored with every shade of blue with samples of all colors but Orange.
