Actually, I use everything up in one way or another. I have a cardboard rectangle measuring 4x9.5 that I wrap fabric around. Any fabric that'll fit all the way around it, really. I secure each piece with a safety pin. I used to use straight pins until I got poked one too many times touching the stash. :) Scraps the next size down end up in my plastic scrap bins which are sorted by color, except for the novelty fabrics, batiks, and solids bins. Anything 1-4" on at least one side goes into my crumb quilting box. I piece these bits together into blocks and make quilts with this "made fabric." The smallest pieces, where it's unreasonable to expect two 1/4 inch seams, go into a fabric pillowcase. The pillows, once full, get sewn shut and donated to a homeless shelter. www.quiltartbymegan.comMegsAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966689872872927944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-29299036959653600652014-02-24T20:59:29.710-07:002014-02-24T20:59:29.710-07:00I have way to many scraps that I am mailing them t...I have way to many scraps that I am mailing them to the UK from the US to a group of girls that are part of a "young quilters" group! I have started trying to implement Bonnie Hunters suggested cutting of scraps into useful sizes which are then stored by size which so far include: : 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3.5 and squares: 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 Bricks: 2 X 3.5, 2.5 X 4.5 and 3.5 X 6.5. here is a link to her article on this http://quiltville.com/scrapusersystem.shtml GREAT INFO on her site if you like scrappy quilts then you will find numerous free patterns.Personally I don't like a scrappy look so that is my dilemna why save if I will not use them?!?! I have been recently utilizing her methods of cutting them up and storing them in plastic tubs by the cut size. I also have those hanging closet organizers that I was using to store scraps by color in baskets I made out of scraps for each particular color in scraps of that color.marslaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882269342296807003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-52281511457790423992013-08-02T13:23:45.160-06:002013-08-02T13:23:45.160-06:00Oh my...

I love yours! Mine is very basic atm and I don't have a room exclusively for sewing, but my methods grow and adapt with every quilt as the scrap stash gets larger :) I have added you button to my page too.Adventurous Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276453838538795301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-17098598072270773512013-07-28T22:30:22.569-06:002013-07-28T22:30:22.569-06:00I don't have many scraps, but, as of today, th...I don't have many scraps, but, as of today, they are filed away in a filing cabinet.<br /><br />I'm not really a fan of scraps. I can't imagine that I would ever get around to working with something too small and fiddly. I suppose I would also count anything around the size of a 10 inch square or smaller as scrap. And anything under 2 inches as rubbish, perhaps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-51337070407754312112013-07-28T20:03:31.757-06:002013-07-28T20:03:31.757-06:00Sarah, I can't wait to see your scrap storage!...Sarah, I can't wait to see your scrap storage!!! I just spent 3 hours organizing the remains of my "scrapbooking" life to donate to a women's shelter...so I'm going to have more room for fabric very soon!
