I also decided to show what I have done so far. I had been cutting fabric into 5" or 2.5" pieces and putting everything smaller into a bag for crumbs.
2.5" container on the left, 5" on the right
bag o' crumbsSince I was sewing in my bedroom up until about a month ago, these containers were there behind my sewing table. When I pulled them out, I unearthed this monstrosity. A bag of scraps that were won at the April retreat. Well, what was left of the scraps that were won after I shared with my friends and the Fabric Thief helped herself. Man, this bag is heavy!
Nothing left to do but add it to the pile. I have a lot of work to do to prepare for the Bonnie Hunter classes in August!!
I guess I better get to work!!

Mount Scraporama!!! Better hire a sherpa!
Once you get it done, the trick is to keep it up. It took me almost 2 weeks of evening cutting to get a big plastic box cut down to 5", 3 1/2" and 2" squares and also some strips. I belong to the local quilt stores Scrap Therapy class where we meet once a month to make scrap quilts using those sizes.
Amazing how wonderful all those quilts are turning out.
I'm jealous, Bonnie Hunter class, and plenty of scraps to take with you! :D
GREAT doggie ohoto! :-) Laura
Arghhh, that should be PHOTO not ohoto. ;-) laura
Love the new blog header with Max and Maisy! Your scraps are already more organized than mine.
So how is the re-organizing scraps going? Great I hope.. I have alot of crumbs too that I have kept for the occasional applique project. I have 4 or 5 BOM applique quilts that I think would be neat to get done.. Not sure how that will go
