My strip bins overfloweth. The big problem is the floor around them is collecting strips as well. I don't like the mess of sorting into colors, so, I wait until the situation is urgent. I am trying to clean the floor in my sewing room. It has to be done.

This is the 1 1/2 inch strip drawer unleashed. Hard to believe all this was in one drawer.
Their permanent home will not hold any more. I have tried to keep them in a smaller bin - it didn't fit

Time to make 4 patches.
or 9 patches ...or both

I totally get what you mean about those over flowing bins, they just multiply faster than we can sew it seems.
ReplyDeleteDealing with scraps is always such a big job...good luck! Making a bunch of 4 or 9 patches is actually a great idea. I need to think about that for my overflowing bins!
ReplyDeleteYou've made a dent -- keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI love a floor with a fabric mess ... even more when it's not my floor, haha. Look at all the lovely possibilities just waiting to happen. I shouldn't talk as my strings are in the same situation. I need to learn how to sew during my sleep, lol. Enjoy the madness. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the floor in my sewing room! Great job straightening them up. Four patches and nine patches are always good for using up scraps and making a nice quilt.
