\"Aug<\/a>
Aug Sew Day scraps cut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to focus on cutting out a project  or anything more complicated with the Community Sew Day project going on, so I brought scraps to cut. My scrap bin is more than overflowing and it was a good opportunity to fit in some scrap ‘processing’ time between working on the community quilt.<\/p>\n

In general, I feel like I didn’t make much progress, at least from the amount of scraps in my scrap bin<\/a>. What I cut doesn’t look like much, but the stack of 2.5 inch squares in the upper left is about 50 pieces and that isn’t nothing. <\/p>\n

\"Sew<\/a>

I focused on getting the blacks out of the bin so I can use them to enlarge the Black Improv top<\/a>. I’ll use that as leaders and enders for a bit so that I can get it off the wall at some point in the not too distant future. I was able to make a few pieces while working on the blocks, so I am on my way.<\/p>\n

\"Strips<\/a>

As I cut, I also create strips that I will use for the Color Strip donation quilts<\/a> at some point. The white bin in filling up again, even after I made White Strips #2<\/a> recently that I am going to have to delve into that bin again soon. The red and pink bins are not far behind. <\/p>\n

You can see some of the random scraps as well, which will eventually become Color Improv tops<\/a>. A white one might be next since I didn’t make one after making White Strips #2. <\/p>\n

I always have a lot of questions when I do scrap processing. People lament their many bins of scraps. I had that, too, but had to get them all organized<\/a>. It has taken me since 2011 to get into a routine where scraps go from leftovers from a project to quilts. It takes time and dedication. The joy comes from seeing how the Color Strip and Color Improv quilts come out. To date I have made 21 Color Strip and Chunk tops and 9 Improv tops. FROM SCRAPS!! That is not nothing. It’s a commitment.<\/p>\n
