so, the solid scrap squares have been assembled into these scrappy 4-patch units. like a true disciple of the bonnie hunter repurpose/scrapsaver doctrine, i make every effort not to see anything in the trash larger than 1" square. if i can't get an inchie out of a scrap, out it goes. with fabric now at $10 plus per yard (except at marden's!), it behooves one to be as thrifty as possible in busting one's stash. these units got tucked away with the little solid 9-patch units and the solid QSTs recently sewn. once the ocean waves is a flimsy, i'll have a better idea of how much solid stash is left and can start on my scrappy solid bow tie quilt and cross it off my WHIMM list.
You are so efficient, Grace! I always intend to "take care of" the scraps when finishing a project before moving on to something else, but it rarely actually happens (as my "to be cut" scrap drawer would attest).
ReplyDeleteThe magazines arrived yesterday! Thanks so much! I would love to exchange something--FQs, yardage, soap? You name it! If you don't name it, you will just have to take whatever I send! : )
