It is so exciting to go into my stash and find fabrics that will go into my next project. What I really like to do is buy new fabrics for the project and find some from my stash. I don't save anything that is less than 2.5 X 2.5" because I don't like to hand quilt any very small pieces.

I have a large plastic bin of scraps that never seem to run low. Many quilts have been made and given to various charities. Even "mans best friend" have received a few. Also made smaller ones to put under the car seat.

I am in, don't have a huge stash yet, but I am sure I can accumulate enough as I go, to get one done by next year.

Another use for scrapes. Went to my grandchild day care class
(PK) and we made pillows from the 6" squares. I cut out small prints from other scrap pieces and they glued them on to decorate them. Just used small amount of batting and a glue stick to stick the squares together. They were 4 and 5 yr old, it was so much fun. They couldn't wait for them to dry.
Might be a good idea for a little girls party to make them for their dolls.

I may be a little late in replying to this challenge, but I love scrap quilts. About every six months I go through my scraps, iron with magic sizing and cut into squares anywhere from 2" to 6-10 inches and put them in plastic baggies. I'm ready to start my confetti quilt with no more than 1 square of each fabric, about 1500 squares. Going to try to get that started after the first of the year. Will try to post photos as I progress.

I'm in. But it might take the whole year

My favorite pattern for scraps is Grandmother's Flower Garden b/c each hexagon can be different. I made my first one after my grandmother passed away; the only thing I got was her bag of scraps! The Flower Garden was almost entirely from that batch. So far I have made three quilts that incorporate at least some of her scraps with mine.

I'll take you up on the challenge too. I have my scraps in a paper bag, so I'm going to have to get a box. I have lots of 4" squares I haven't used and two inch strips.

Have you had many replies to the challenge. I would love to do this but will have to begin after the first of the year.

I'm in too. Have enough scraps to cover Minnesota. Will donate to caring sharing hands.
