Part of the cleaning of my sewing room resulted in all of the scraps (and larger pieces) from the last 6 or 7 months getting corralled into one place. To be fair, most of the popcorn tin contains “crumbs” too small for me but I know there are quilters who love crumbs.
So, yesterday after sewing ONE of the two seams needed for the backing of the Crossword Puzzle quilt, I started working on this pile. I filled a 2 gal bag with crumbs from the tin (had to start there so I’d have a place for the crumbs I’ll generate working the scraps). There was also a good bit a fabric which was too big to be called scrap which I’ve put away. So I’m actually down to just the plastic box which needs dealing with.
I put the lid on the box and set it over in the basket of thrift shirts which still need cutting up.
What can I say — I’ve got a pile of batting scraps which need to be dealt with — not to mention another seam on the backing for the Crossword Puzzle quilt (and all of the stuff I had spread out on the ironing board Sunday night.
