Oh that, and putting fabric away after using it is also a bit of a stalling point too! <br />And yes, it’s all looking very inspiring right now... it’s just a pity I can’t seem to keep it all nice & tidy for too long! <br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-63608317184570362232015-06-23T03:49:45.037+12:002015-06-23T03:49:45.037+12:00Your scraps look so pretty all organized.

I'm working on sewing mine into 'blocks' which I can then join into a quilt, the latest batch are fairly dark coloured so am considering using a medium to separate them, with cornerstones........will let the fabric tell me.

I'm just looking for better ways to organize my fabrics. I've started cutting strips and squares in sizes I use a lot, and that keeps me from having to get out 42 fabrics when I want to start a project. <br />Now I just have to remember to neaten up those strips now and then... 8)<br /> gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208168224439515489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-53827525226567213862015-06-22T09:04:39.567+12:002015-06-22T09:04:39.567+12:00Haha...

For me me scraps are ...Yes - a scrap vortex Linda!! For me me scraps are both a regret - not having used them and not enough storage for them - but also rejoicing when I do look through and have a trip down memory lane spying a piece from a long time ago and remembering the quilt I made! I have been trying to sort my scraps into size and colour but go around in circles, maybe a couple of large bins by the sewing table with scraps tossed in and having a good rummage when needed would be easier.Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-29559017016036184012015-06-21T11:05:40.466+12:002015-06-21T11:05:40.466+12:00Oh my gosh, I love your stars on the wall.

I have stacks of fabric that need pressed, folded, and put away. It's hard to start a project with a mess. Better for me to have a clean slate (so to speak) to begin a project.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-14126228238356561262015-06-21T08:51:28.687+12:002015-06-21T08:51:28.687+12:00Hi Rachel, Thank you!

It’s a bit of work sorting them, but even more work keeping them all like that! <br />Not too sure just what I’m going to do with the overflowing big basket though... like you, I probably need to cut up those scraps into usable pieces, maybe a scrap vortex?!?!<br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-89407897627397133112015-06-21T08:38:03.585+12:002015-06-21T08:38:03.585+12:00Ah yes, the AMH fabrics!

I love that rather Bohemian style, the more mulit coloured fabrics are great as focus fabrics, and adding them to a scrappy quilt adds a real depth of colour. But most importantly, they activate my pre-modern stash with a bit of new life!
