The color for the rainbow scrap challenge for January is bright green. Last year, the month of green, I didn't really do a look through the basket. I knew I needed to pull everything out, and sort through, to discover what hidden treasures I might have in the basket. My original plan was to cut everything into useable sizes. But, after it was neat and tidy, I didn't want to cut it.
After a good night's sleep, I was ready to cut again. I cut 3 1/2, 2 1/2, 2, and 1 1/2, and there were some I added to the strings bucket. The top row was a little bigger, and I set it aside to cut triangles I have a scrap quilt I want to make that needs green 2 inch strips. And I need the 2 1/2 inch strips for scraptastic stars and shine.
I didn't cut these, because they intrigued me. I think there is enough for a quilt, if the quilt presents itself. They are good old 90s fabrics.
I finished the whole basket, and, now, I have room to add more - haha

ReplyDeleteGreat job. I too used to be stuck at the what ifs but found that i sew more when they are ready to go.now most of my fabric under a fat qtr gets chopped into my barrels by size. 5 down to 1.5
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your scrap prep. I love those 90s fabrics! I started Scraptastic Stars yesterday and really like that pattern.
