I've sorted them into any length or width strips, or cut them into 4" squares firstly, if they don't fit there then into either 2" or 1" hexagons. I love to have hand stitching on me at all times so I always have these in my handbag. I can glue and stitch 5 hexie flowers while sitting with my Dad in the resthome for an hour. I can always see a potential for any scrap, but I am trying to be more realistic. These are only scraps - then there is all the rest of my stash! arncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750453297927475519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-77061526295928894132017-10-26T06:17:53.632+13:002017-10-26T06:17:53.632+13:00Those are pretty blue scraps - looking forward to ...Those are pretty blue scraps - looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

And I gave a big pile to my friend. It’s easier to see now just what I have and I don’t feel so overwhelmed. <br />All I need is some spare time to turn these leftovers into scrap quilts, probably next year for me too!<br />Thanks for joining in with the scrap sorting discussion.<br />And good luck with your UFO list! <br />Linda @ kokaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942832808800906728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-65139566697493821732017-10-25T15:09:57.836+13:002017-10-25T15:09:57.836+13:00My scrap bag is very small.
