I don't have new fabric this week. I have been cutting scraps. I cut 1 1/2 inch strips at the last, if I can't cut anything larger. There was 1 pound 2 ounces of scraps in this size. If there are 3 yards in a pound, I have a little over 1 yard.

When I have chunks, I cut them into 5 inch, 3 1/2 inch, 2 1/2 in, 2 inch, and 1 1/2 inch squares. I also will cut rectangles into 2 x 3 1/2 inch and 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch.

I sewed 6 days last week. including Friday sew. I was away from home, but, worked on my hexie quilt each day.
I dyed more wool for my rug and worked with a dark red wool to hook some more letters along the border of the rug.

That's a lot of scrap cutting! Your stash and stitching metrics are looking great. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteWow you are so organized!
ReplyDeleteNice progress on your scraps and rug
ReplyDeleteGreat box full of squares and rectangles, ready do be stitched. Are you using them as Leaders and Enders?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, and linking up ;)
Such a good idea to work on cutting scraps into usable sizes! I should be doing that, too, but have been too lazy, lol!
ReplyDeleteI need to cut my scraps similarly, but I never know what sizes I may need. I don't consistently use the same sizes in my minimal quilting.
ReplyDeleteI find working with fabric to be therapeutic as well--whether that's cutting, pressing, or simply petting. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteCutting scraps takes a lot of time. Good job getting so much accomplished!
