Atta girl! I have the same solution, but sadly, more than one container. LOL But it is a challenge, isn't it, to try and make use of all these little bitties you can't bear to throw away!

Good one! I try sometimes to use up mine, and end up making more.

Great idea for a scrap bin. I use a large plastic clothes basket, I like your's it's taller.

That's the way to handle that problem. I have been trying to use up some of my scraps.

As fast as I try to use them up, I still have a bureau of them.

I cut lots of 1.5" strips from my scraps and have been making scrappy log cabin blocks whenever I want to sew but don't want to get involved in a "project." It's a brainless activity, but I've finished one quilt that I just mailed off yesterday, and I'm half-way through another. I love the way they look, and each quilt is a trip down the memory lane of quilts that I have made.
