I don't feel confident with doing that, but I know I need to just jump in with both feet. A friend just started a quilt from scraps from another friend, and I've agreed to do the second round on it. Yikes.

As for scraps, they were simply thrown in a box until recently when I sorted them into three size piles. My next task is to trim them to useful sizes such as 1-1/2", 2-1/2", and so on. I have orphan units like HSTs that you've inspired me to use up!Jennifer Fulton Inquiring Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400876555711424955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-28045459004695024122016-01-27T11:04:52.970-06:002016-01-27T11:04:52.970-06:00I loved watching your process of coming up with Ta...I loved watching your process of coming up with Take #2.

I keep larger scraps in a scrap bin (to pull from for test blocks and mini mini quilts, and occasionally to raid for a quilt), but I have less fear of letting things go... but perhaps that is not entirely true. When working on a quilt for a customer, I don't tend to keep those scraps as the fabric selections are not typically what I would have purchased for myself in the first place.

I think this may be the last of her WIP's! Scraps are a tricky thing! Can't use them, can't get rid of them…it doesn't matter how many ideas and quilts I use them in, there are always more waiting in the wings! I've tried selling my scraps on IG (some did sell). I can't just throw them in the garbage, that I know!
