Destash Your Quilt Scraps

 How do you 

Destash Your Quilt Scraps?

What do you do with all of those

left over bits and pieces from

your favorite quilt projects?

 What size is too small to keep?

I was asked that question recently,

and it made me think.

I toss small "leftovers" 

sorted according to color

in these 12" X 12" X 3"

Protect and Store boxes

by Darice

 I like the boxes because they are clear and allow me to see

the colors of the fabrics inside.

 Plus, they stack nicely in a bookcase near my sewing machine,

making them readily available to play with.

For my larger "chunks" of left over fabric, or yardage pieces

I sort into those into wire baskets.

On a good day, 

they are stacked neatly according to color

Lately I've been pulling out entire drawers

and cutting out random colors of 9-inch blocks.

Here is the dilemma:

Why is it after 2 years of sorting, cutting, 

using, and re-stacking

those fabric scrap bins and boxes

don't seem to be getting much smaller in size?

oh, if my banking account 

would only do the same :)
