I figure using scraps is a great way to avoid purchasing fabric. So far, my fabric diet is working, in 5 months I've only purchased 2 yards of fabric, and I needed it to finish a quilt!
It's just a start. I divided the scraps into large medium and small.
The "large" stack went back into the wire basket in the closet.
The "mediums" I set aside.
I started cutting the "smalls" into two sizes, 2.5 inch squares and 2.5x 5 inch rectangles. I think I'll do some more cutting then start sewing them all together. Right now, I have NO idea what sized I'll end up with, but it will truly be scappy!
May your bobbins always be full,
I'm impressed with your fortitude. I have only been trying not to buy fabric for the month of April and never realized it would be so hard. I just know that the collections I love won't be there when I let my self spend again. There are so many qreat scrap quilts out there that you should be able to make a beautiful one. 3bakergirlsgo@gmail.com
