Скачать или смотреть Wow! Final look at my scrap busting system and the scraps cut over the past two years!

Yes! I finally got all my scraps cut up into usable fabric! I have them cut up into blocks that are 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 8", 10". The I have strips that are 2 1/2" of various lengths that are stored in ARTBINS that are 2 1/2" x 24" long (these are awesome!). And the strips smaller than 2 1/2 are stored as strips (or strings is another term used). Those go as small as 3/4" wide of various lengths too.

Oddly shaped or really small pieces are in my 'crumb' bags to make crumb blocks. I'm using those as leaders and enders now and working on using the purple scraps first. Of course, some of my crumbs are bigger....especially if I was getting tired at the end of a cutting session. LOL.

I have been shopping in my bins of 'pre-cuts' over the past year so there would likely be a lot more if I hadn't done that. But it is so nice to have blocks already cut up.

I LOVE scrappy quilts and this certainly makes them scrappy.

Once I take a scrap break for a bit, I'll probably start sorting them into color families to make it easier to shop and so I get a better idea of what I have available.

I borrowed a lot of tips and tricks from Lori Dickman ‪@quiltingwithlori‬ and Jean from ‪@JeanKeptInStitches‬ . Check out their channels! Lori Dickman also has patterns specifically for using the scraps in the sizes she cuts.
