My idea to create order and enjoyment for future projects is to cut all scraps smaller than a Fat Quarter into usable squares and strips.
I started working on this massive project the middle of December.
It is not a week-end project. My plan is to cut fabric for about 1-2 hours per day.
Here is what I have accomplished:
Pre-Cut Fabric
The pink project box has pre-cut strips for foundation piecing.
The box up front has 5" charm squares.
The containers to the right have: 4.5", 4", 3.5", and 3" squares.
The bag sitting up against the pink bin contains (60) flannel blocks front & back with batting in between sewn with an "X". (I'm taking those to my weekly sewing group to be sewn together into a rag quilt)
The white bag has flannel strips. Flannel blocks in the sizes of 5", 4.5" and 3.5" were cut for making baby quilts. The flannel cutting project is complete. Hooray!!!
Wow - you are really getting those scraps knocked down to size!!! And I'm so excited to see that you are doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge :*) I'll be seeing you there!!!
