I applique alot so mine, sorry to say look alot like those pictured. I never throw any scrap away, because I may need that color or print on another applique quilt. LOVE SCRAPS

you'd never want to see my fabric then. :D I just leave it to see what I can use later on. :)

My guess is that these were quilters who used scissors to cut their pieces and this saved fabric for them. Probably used this fabric back before the rotary cutter was invented OR were used to their way of doing things.

I received fabric from a friend's mother in law who had the same types of cuts. She always cut with scissors and hand-pieced her quilts.

Mine too.

Having had an upholstery/drapery workroom, it's HABIT for me to be as conservative as I can be with fabric. By leaving those bits on, I can possibly, by the time I get to the end, have enough of one piece left that I would have otherwise been short. I use EVERY INCH. It comes from working with other's very expensive fabric...

Ditto, it saves a lot of waste

I do not leave pieces hanging on the fabric. I cut the strip I need and any excess that can't be used on the project I am working on goes into my scrap basket

All my fabric leftovers look like that. I sew clothing etc and I HATE to waste fabric and you never know what little pattern piece you can fit in there. It does bug me when people cut a pattern piece right out of the middle though. To each her own!!!

I leave all those raggedy pieces - never know when I'll need a shape that fits right *there* on that little jaggy thing sticking out. :)
