Scrap Housekeeping

Scraps...Scraps...Scraps..everywhere I look there are scraps.

It is time to fix the problem.  It is Thursday and my calendar said it is time to organize the scraps.

Recently, at a Bonnie Hunter lecture, the national quilter suggested cutting strips in 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2" and 3" segments.  Taking it one step further, the plan is to organize strips, triangles, rectangles, squares into blocks - 3.5", 4", 5",  or 6".  These blocks can then be sewn into 6", 9", or 12"  blocks.

Also, it is time to make strip sets.

With fabric $10-12 per yard, it must be - no waste, no gain.

Besides that, it feels good to have a plan.
