Scraps


 Such lovely photos here of my hoarded leftover scraps from too many projects and years to remember.  I have dug through these piles and pulled out pieces but most of it is not that useful especially when I can't find what I'm looking for. I have admired Bonnie Hunter's quilts from Quiltville for so long and I finally decided to finally organize them like she suggests. Marianne is kindly helping me.
 And Bonnie is helping me too!  I was the lucky winner of her brand new book when I commented on Bonnie's post over at Stash Manicure.  I love the patterns in Bonnie's book and am feeling inspired to put my scraps to use. Until my stash is cleaned up, I am not likely to go shopping for shirts like she does but I will sure enjoy making these quilts.
Thank you, Bonnie!

    How lucky you are to have Marianne help you! She looks to be doing a wonderful job!! Actually...I was so lucky the other day that while I was sewing...my husband was watching TV and helped me sort out all of my wool pieces into small totes by color!!

    Congratulations! You are so lucky. I bought a copy of Bonnie's latest book. I started organizing my scraps into usable sizes per Bonnie's method and do find it easier to use them. Also easier to find what you have/need.

    OK, after you and Marianne have finished organizing your scraps please send her to me. She'll be ready to help me. :-)

    Can't wait to see your organization.

    Let us know if the organizing Bonnie's way works for you. I am not sure that I want to cut up a lot of fabric into strips, squares & triangles for future scrap quilts.

    How fun is that? Please bring the book on Saturday as I'd love to thumb through it! I would still love to do a string quilt or 2...and I want to see "after" photos of the stash!

    Lucky you, to win a book, I have a plastic bin of scraps, but you have me beat! I am trying to use up scraps as well. It is kind of fun to see what you can do only with scraps.
