Scraps

Today, I spent the better part of my day doing a scrap busting session. Oh goodness. I finally pulled all of my quilting cotton scraps - to include the stuff that was under a fat quarter - out. I ended up sorting by color and put all of the colors in their own bags. From there, I decided to work on the blue scraps, since I (for some reason) have the most of those. I probably should've started on something I'd get through a bit faster. Oops.

I cut what I needed to down to a "manageable" size and started piecing things together. Once I got several pieces together, I decided to cut the blocks to 9"x9".

The first few blue blocks

Blue scraps everywhere

No really, everywhere

Blue blocks ready to be cut down to size

12 blocks done
Wow... I have a lot more work to do than I thought!

On another note, I have SEVERAL posts I'm behind on. I finished 3 of 4 quilts for Thanksmas. I'm waiting on the rest of the backing fabric for the other one & then I have one more quilt to finish up. I probably *should* be doing that one before worrying about these scraps, but I'm tired of looking at them so, they take priority.
