I think the yellow and red pieces at the bottom of the basket are quite pretty, but completely understand when you're just DONE with a line of fabric. What I do in that case is just cut it up into strips and add it to my pile of red or yellow or whatever scraps. It looks like you sort your scraps by size rather than color? So interesting how everyone's scrap system is different!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-37474784969725214642018-02-28T04:09:06.045-05:002018-02-28T04:09:06.045-05:00Congratulations on making the effort; it certainly...Congratulations on making the effort; it certainly paid off!
