Great job Lynne.

Lisa F. There is a discussion in the discussion forum above that discusses sorting scraps.  Check it out, it has lots of information that may help you.

This quilt top was made with 5 inch charm squares, I was collecting.  Time to use them up!!  The melon shape was cut using my AccuQuilt cutter.  Hand appliqued down on a charm square.   Squares were trimmed to 4 1/2 inches, to get them the same size.  Outside border, square in a square, I also used charm squares.  Size is approx., 60.5 x 85.5   This will be machine quilted, sometime in the future.

Lisa, I sort my scraps primarily by size; as in width, e.g. 1-1/2" x length; 2-1/2" x length, etc. (The smallest pieces I keep are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square.) Then when I need pieces in that width I go to that bin to find it, and while there will often sort into color.

HI ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. Im glad to get back here. i have missed everyone but life decided to get in my way for a few years.

Janet that quilt is awesome. love the colors

Sherri- i love the blues

so hope the holiday season was good for everyone.

mine was different and very slow and quiet.

Ladies --- i do have a question. How do you sort your scraps? in size or colors or what? i am limited since i have a very small apartment. My living room is my sewing room since i dont have a lot of people visiting me. i just need some ideas. i do havce shoe boxes and clear smaller totes.I am just befuddled how to organize the scraps.

Love your bright and colorful scrap quilt Janet. Judy Martin has some great designs.

This list is so quiet!  I finished another scrappy quilt last night.  This is the Snake River Log Cabin from Judy Martin's "Log Cabin Quilt Book".  I have not counted up how many scraps it has, but suffice it to say it is a lot!

Here is a close up of the quilting my friend Vonnie did:

I found more scraps.  Giving them to a friend and let her make something out of them.

Very pretty.  I know what you mean about not having enough room for all our quilts!

Sherri, I love it, it sparkles with all of the different blues and light neutrals.
