I sort my batik chunks by size because I will be able to get to cutting quicker for a project. My smaller scraps (down to tiny) get sorted and bagged by size in the container. I tend to sort strings and strips by color. I'm not sure there is one method for all scraps.<br /><br />I think you are wise to send out all big quilts for quilting and just do the most manageable ones yourself.

I was a real slacker last year and the only excuse I have is a total lack of motivation. But the UFOs aren't going to finish themselves and the fabrics aren't going to magically turn into quilts, so I must be more dedicated in moving projects along this year.<br />PatMissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280788527989249009.post-12150112161560362782021-01-18T04:50:55.462+13:002021-01-18T04:50:55.462+13:00Well,three cheers for the Year of the Quilt, it so...Well,three cheers for the Year of the Quilt, it sounds like a great idea and you are off to a flying start.

Personally, I can't stop making quilts, so my objective is to slow down... spend more time on a quilt rather than knocking them out, one after another, as I seemed to do in 2020. It seems that January is THE month to spend with scraps, as I know of at least a dozen quilters who are currently working with them. I've found that in making scrap quilts, as I'm working on two of them now, I'm not only cutting them up (and adding to a quickly-filling pillowcase that will be sewn closed for a pet bed), but I'm simultaneously sorting through and reorganizing them. Mostly, I'm seeing a reduction in the depth of the pile in each canvas bin. Yay! Have fun taming your scraps, and making and making!FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280788527989249009.post-50570406309338143702021-01-18T02:51:58.720+13:002021-01-18T02:51:58.720+13:00Beautiful quilt top, Maureen!
