You did great Sarah! <br />One things I like to do with smaller scraps is set them aside as I work and then cut them all up with die cutter before putting them away. I have a whole bunch of hexies and tumblers waiting for "someday".

It is much easier to come up with a plan and cut scraps and start using them for a specific quilt instead of for just storing them for some future unspecified project. You sew them up, and there are fewer scraps to deal with.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-48979230731191849542016-03-10T07:52:44.854-06:002016-03-10T07:52:44.854-06:00I like this block!

And I am still thankful for the inspiration and ready to start planning a bow tie quilt. I think I like that last option you shared. This is a silly question, but what program do you use to make your images? I have been using graph paper and sometimes excel, but it is hard to use excel with HSTs.

You're so right, getting something going immediately is a good motivator. <br /><br />I love making scrappy slab blocks! I made a quilt with them last year when I made a stab at scrap organization. Not fast though, but very fun improv and very satisfying to do. <br /><br />Recently bought the Creative Grids Curvy Log Cabin Ruler and I think I want to give that a go with some of my scraps.

My small scraps are sewed onto strips of paper and turned into super scrappy hot pads for gifts and donation. 1.5", 2", 2.5" strips are separated by size. 2" and 2.5" squares, too. I see lots of blocks and scrappy quilts in my future. Especially string block quilts.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527472166860525332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-47770554718916048832016-03-09T09:13:22.160-06:002016-03-09T09:13:22.160-06:00What an amazing start!

One of my first quilts with just scraps was a little table mat of one inch ( I don't go that small anymore :-) squares that I sewed into a double irish chain. I quilted it with the feathers I was practicing at the time. It turned out to be quite fun playing with scraps.Lorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378229521840536213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-34716836781650502202016-03-09T08:26:21.362-06:002016-03-09T08:26:21.362-06:00You are absolutely right!
