One of the things that was in the first Frolic! clue<\/a> was a mention of Bonnie Hunter’s Scrap User System<\/a>. I had forgotten about her system, but was reminded when I clicked on the link and started reading the article.<\/p>\n

2019 Cutting Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t do exactly what Bonnie does, but I do a version of it. As I have mentioned, I cut certain pieces out of every piece of fabric I use or buy for future projects. As I mentioned the other day, this sometimes comes in handy when I work on a project that needs certain unit sizes that I have cut. This is the point of Bonnie’s system.<\/p>\n

My cutting varies from year to year depending on what projects I have going, as I have said. I like the idea of cutting up all of my scraps into usable pieces, but it just isn’t practical for me<\/em>. I like the compromise I have made. It breaks up my cutting, as I have also said. I have the pieces I need for my next projects ready to go when I am ready to sew. I have something (cutting up pieces of fabric) I can do when I have a few minutes free.<\/p>\n

I also like having random shapes and sizes of fabric in my scrap drawers. I would be able to make interesting journal covers<\/a> or the improv donation quilts<\/a> without them.<\/p>\n

I think the key is to think about different systems and make them work for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
