Hi everyone! I think I have mentioned that I try and cut up scraps. I store them in a old pattern cabinet. Each drawer has 3 divided sections. My 2" sq drawer is over flowing. So I started making the Scrappy Cheddar Quilt on the Tattered Garden Blog. I know I have duplicate fabric in what I have sewn together so far. but not many. I traded 100 squares with a couple of friends. then I found The Curious Quilter She is hosting a swap of 1.5", 2" or 2.5" Squares. She suggested that you cut your squares first, then sign up. there is still a few days left if you are interested.
Can you believe that is 800 squares? and guess what? my drawer is still full. sigh....... I think they reproduce in the dark.
So if you have any good scrappy ideas, I am open to suggestions. right now my energy is going to the 2" squares. but my 1.5" and 2.5" drawers are full too. so I see lots of leaders and enders in my future.
Why do I love to make these scrappy quilts? I consider them free quilts. no fabric was purchased for these squares. only scraps! wow!!! free quilts! it makes me smile......
hugs.....
It's a smart idea to cut the scrap i squares. I wish mine was as well.
ReplyDeleteI say free quilts is a fabulous idea.
