Whats the smallest size scrap that it is reasonable to keep, and how do you store scraps?
I have mine collected in several different plastic boxes, (warm colors, cool colors, neutrals) but some of those pieces are mighty small and stretchy. No problem with leftover strips; I like strippy, scrappy, baby quilts. (PS) * * * * * * * I have a drawer in my desk that is strips 1 1/4 inch or more. I use them for scrap log cabin quilts. If the strips are larger than 1 1/4, I cut them after I sew them on. If it is too big a piece to go in my drawer, it is not a scrap and goes back in the stash. (KM) * * * * * * * My scraps pieces must be larger than 1″ sq or 1″ by 2″ if rectangular. Anything smaller than that I won’t use. I like using these to make the foundation blocks. (ST) * * * * * * * I am the great moocher of the guild here; members bring me bags of scraps they don’t want to keep track of but hate to throw away. I also check trash cans after quilting classes have been held at my local shop. It’s amazing what some people throw away! I keep pieces if they are larger than 1 square
