Quilting Scraps
Scrap Box
I've been saving up all my scraps from recent projects as I recently bought a copy of the book Serendipity Quilts by Susan Carlson however I can't try out one of the amazing projects until I collect a pile of scraps to choose from.
Previously I would only save the scraps I deemed "worthwhile", but now I'm saving all my scraps no matter how tiny. It feels good to think I might one day have a use for all of them. Do you save your scraps?

How exciting! Yes, I do save scraps! Most of my quilts are scrap quilts! When I first started quilting, I could not afford to purchase alot of yardage at one time so I would buy 1/2 yard at a time so that way I could get more of a variety of fabrics and I made scrap quilts! I do save about everything and all of those little scraps do make the best scrap quilts!

I save everything. I have six large shopping bags of scraps plus two plastic containers in my garage full of scraps. I love them and don't throw anything away. Some smaller pieces are perfect for applique.
Like Kristie I love scrap quilts.
I save scraps. But that is mostly due to their usefulness for other crafting project such as doll making or scrap booking.
That and I hate throwing out even scraps of a really pretty fabric!!
