This week, I found out I miscounted the number of pillowcases I finished last week, so I get a bonus yard of usage this week for underestimating before. I also (drum roll, please!) finished the queen sized quilt for Good Mews’ auction that I’ve named “There’s Always One”. Pictures once I get it wash and dried to remove some marking lines.
In between there, I also managed to clean out the scrap basket and got it all cut up into the right sizes for my scrap storage system (a modified Bonnie Hunter I’ve talked about on the podcast). Here’s the before and after:
- Used this Week: 14 yards
- 1 yd for pillowcases
- 13 yd for “There’s Always One” quilt
- Used year to Date: 170 yards
- Added this Week: 0 yards
- Woohoo!
- Net Used for 2015: 92.5 yards
- YTD Used for Charity: 99.25 yards (54% of total used)

I don’t cut up my scraps like you do, but I do cut for projects as needed. I am looking at your neat piles and feeling envious and thinking that I may need to rethink my strategy. I have a couple of projects for which I am cutting and could cut 2.5″ squares and 1.5″ squares with little to no fuss.
Productive scrap cutting!
