Starting a new year with Order ...........

...............  at least with the scraps.   I spent the first 10 days of the year cutting, trimming, tossing, and all round organizing my mountain of scraps.   I wish I had taken photos of the bins before they were made useful,  you would be amazed.

But,  here is the finished product ..........  since these photos were taken,  I also removed the small bits and bytes that would be crumb blocks,  passing them on to a new quilter, who will take the leftovers to experiment with. 


2-1-2   &  2 inch strips,  2-1/2   &  2 inch squares,   2-1/2   &  2 inch HST  and 3 inch QST; the bigger drawers have chunks and any leftover pieces up to FQ size.   I missed getting a photo of the brown and black bins, but they are also done.  My aqua, teal & purple collection is almost non-existent.

I also spent the last 2 days cutting backgrounds for the hourglass quilt (which is my RSC18 project) and a Scrappy 9-patch Irish Chain quilt.  The color squares were also cut last month from the scrap bins.  I think these color squares will make 2 tops.

I also have 2 bags of strings, one darks and one lights.  So now there's lots of sewing and quilting to do.  I'm linking up with Oh Scrap  and  Design Wall Mondays. 

Be sure to visit there to see what other quilters are sharing today.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
