Scraps

Scraps have different meanings in our house.

Basically there's two kinds.

The kind you throw to the pigs or chickens.

And the kind you hoard if you're a quilter: fabric!

Since I finished my last quilt I have been eager to start my next one(s).

I can't seem to stop myself from just one quilt ;).

I have squared all of Connor's quilt blocks and have them set aside.

I said his quilt is next and I plan on keeping my word... as the budget allows.

Quilting is not a cheap hobby!

I have sketched out his quilt and estimated the fabric I need to complete it.

Now I'm waiting for a good sale.

In the meantime...

I have started to organize the scraps I do have.

Not much but at least it's organized.

This is only the smaller scraps.

The larger pieces are folded and arranged in a craft cabinet drawer by color.

My other quilt project is going to be a jean quilt.

I have been cutting up a large quantity of jeans (three bags).

This is one of two piles I had after cutting the seams out of the jeans.

A pile of seventy 5 1/2" squares.

I think I have over 100 now.

I also have strips of two different widths to help supplement the squares.

I have no pattern I'm going by.

I do have a few ideas I've gathered on Pinterest that I'm using as a guide.

My goal is to make a king sized quilt... we'll see.
