Scraps be gone
#13
I can totally understand you wanting to use/or get rid of certain scraps. You made a lovely quilt and are now "done" with looking at them. I applaud you, because like you I get tired of looking at them languish. I usually take the scraps I no longer want to a place that takes all kinds of used art supplies and books. I'm using my large bin of flannel scraps to make the tops for self binding receiving blankets before I back them with a single piece of flannel. I have enough to make at least 20, but it also necessitated me buying more flannel for the backings LOL At least the bin will be empty and I will use the extra backing fabric to make more blankets and be done with the whole lot. I, too, am tired of looking at them take up space.

I think your scrap quilt is great. I saved a copy of the photo in my "quilts to make" folder. I have a ton of 2.5" and 2" scrap strips that I cut every time I make a quilt and have some fabric leftover. Another way to use them!!
