My favorite scrap projects are table runners and mug rugs. I store my scraps 3 ways some are in these huge glass gallon dill pickle jars that I have recycled. And others are in these plastic ice cream buckets and I have some in recycled clear plastic salad containers. Where I buy the salad at Sam's Wholesale club.
ReplyDeleteI store my scraps in a filing cabinet. I want to use my scraps to make some mug rugs patterns I found online

ReplyDeleteI put my scraps into these scrapbooking storage boxes that I get at Joann. I have one box for "small cuts" (fat quarters, fat eighths, strips left over from borders, etc) and then two boxes for everything else sorted by color.
ReplyDeleteright now they are in a big box which use to hold poly stuffing. I plan on a hexie quilt with them.

ReplyDeleteMug rugs and lots of clear 6.5litre plastic boxes
ReplyDeletei've got a shoebox of scraps and try to use them for small projects (potholders planned!) and embelishments.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice giveaway, especially since I quilt and cross stitch. :) Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI don't keep a lot of scraps. Nothing smaller than about 4"x2". Halloween scraps go in a large bag in my tote for Halloween fabrics and regular scraps go in a drawer. I tend to forget about the regular scraps so I guess I need a new system.

ReplyDeleteI like to make scrap quilts. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love to use scraps in pillow covers!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'm not a big scrap person. I'm in a couple of scrappy bees just so I can use my scraps. I end up giving them away most of the time. Right now, they're separate in bins by prints, solids, voiles (both prints and solids), and shot cottons.
ReplyDeleteI store scraps in a plastic bin. I haven't used them for anything yet, but maybe a postage stamp quilt or I spy quilt!

Usually wonky log cabins and small card projects or bookmarks and so forth. There is no rhyme or reason to my scraps at the moment they are just sitting in some canvas totes beggin to be sorted.
ReplyDeleteI love to use scraps to paper piece. The small ones I use when I am doing quilts for my grand daughters dolls. I try to sort my scraps by color. If it is strips I strip them together and then cut out squares or triangles. I just finished a quilt in all yellows and it came out the scrap basket.
ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts - I cut my scraps into squares and store in separate boxes according to size.

ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts :D
ReplyDeleteIve been working on a scrap vomit quilt. I love how its turning out
ReplyDeleteI'm a terrible scrap hoarder - they are generally stored all over the place in tubs, tins and heaps.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite way of using them is little paper pieced coasters. Who doesn't need more coasters? and if I make someone a quilt they can usually have a matching coaster or two.
emma.house@thebowesmuseum.org.uk
I make an effort to flatten pieces out and store in a (big) plastic box so I don't have a crumpled mess to sort through. I sometimes make toys so that's when I'm most likely to go rifling through the box looking for the perfect piece.
ReplyDeleteI store mine in fabric buckets by colour :) Great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteRight now I am making the new Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt with scraps and also some pouches for Christmas. I store them in bags by color in a big box, but that is only when I take time to organize which has been a while

ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to use up my scraps, I have tons! I like the idea of a ticker tape quilt as that uses scraps. how do I store them? By store do you mean where do I shove them out of sight? ;0)
ReplyDeleteI use scraps for quilts , of course, but also for pouches, needlebooks, pincushions, mug rugs to name but a few things :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance.

ReplyDeleteI love making mug rugs with scraps of fabric!
ReplyDeleteI use so many scraps! They come in handy when I improv piece. I store them in a plastic bin...they do multiply so fast!

ReplyDeleteAs a newer quilter I don't have much of a stash and even less scraps! I'm still trying to figure out how to sort and store them but I've been looking through some of the previous comments to get some ideas though!
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassing! I store my scraps in a huge plastic bag that I got with a blanket that was store bought (what?!!) I told you it was embarrassing. I like to use up scraps by making fabric bookmarks that I include with orders in my shop. Although I'm beginning to think that I need another project to make with scraps since no one actually reads paper books anymore. Hmmm....

ReplyDeleteSo far my favorite project has been the scrappy stash QAL. You make log cabin blocks using one color per block. I loved the quilt I made with it.

ReplyDeleteI use scraps in baby quilts. since like everyone at work is having one.
ReplyDeleteI sort my scraps by colour in some drawers in my room. I've been giving a lot away to new quilters, so my scrap stash is fairly diminished, but I've been using them lately making Elizabeth Hartman's cat face quilt, so it's been fun to filter through the bits and pieces to find colours to match the solids I'm using.

I'd love to know that too. Before I left every weird angle on my fabric, now I decided I needed a system. After reading of people making neat cushions with scrap-filling, I have 2 paper bags. One for useable pieces or prints I can still fussy cut and the other bag contains less useable pieces. I do have the feeling I need to upgrade my bags soon though... D:
