What the sCRAP???

Are you feeling sCRAPPY today???


April and I were chatting about all of the wonderful sCRAPs that we have acquired ...and in the same breath were cursing them too ;)  We came up with a plan to get rid of our sCRAP and to keep them under control.

Here is a picture of my scrap bag.


This is a full size "bed in a bag" bag.  ...and it's exploding out the top!  [I have to beat it back down regularly.]

This is mostly my selvages and binding leftovers.  I have TONS more scraps hidden through out my stash.

April and I came up with the idea that as soon as we finish a quilt, we'll immediately make an impromptu block [or something else] out of the scraps.  Right then!  No shoving them into some bag or off to the side!  I LOVE it! 

April is going to make 12" blocks.  I am going to be making 1" epp hexies.  I am also going to make string blocks with my bag o' terror!  I figure if I dedicate a few minutes of every sewing session, I can get these scraps under control!  One or two blocks a week will make the world a happy place :)

Let's get our sCRAP under control!!!
