Scrap buster!
Two things I always find with scrap buster quilts: 1) they are always a bit more work as I scrounge through scrap bins looking for just the right size and color and 2) they never seem to make as a big a dent in my scrap bin as envisioned.
I suspect there's a direct correlation between those two findings—which is why my scrap bins are always overflowing.
I store my scraps from patterned fabric in a rolling plastic set of office drawers. They never seem to be big enough, but I use that as an intentional limiting factor. Bins overflow—time to make a scrap quilt!
Not exactly a "Friday Finish" or a substantial dent in the scrap bins ... but it's a start. Maybe I just need a pattern that has square sizes that are bigger than 2.5"???
Oh! I did get 6 more sets of Adirondack Neck Pillows made! Replenishing inventory!
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
All the best,
Lisa

So true, those scrap bins seem to take on a life of their own! Your current scrap buster is looking good.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you. I think I probably need to purge some of the "micro" pieces!
DeleteOh! Those glorious scraps!! Enjoy making this quilt.
ReplyDeleteHmm ... seems I put the scrap drawers away today with just as much in them as they started with ;-). But at least the quilt top is almost finished!
