It has been a while since I really sat down and tried to organize my scraps. There were two large bags and a box to be sorted. Here is how I decided to sort to get through the first sort.
Throw away:
- Those little bits or fabric I’m just over.
- Didn’t take a picture but it was only a plastic grocery store bag worth.
Donate:
Precut squares or yardage that I don’t want anymore but could still be used in a good home. I donate my fabric to Indy Upcycle, they are a local store that takes craft donations and then re-sells them. It’s a pay what you want basis.
Solids
Prints
Novelty and Holiday:
- Kid’s prints mostly in my stash and left over pieces from holiday projects.
From here I start cutting down most, except solids and novelty, to 1.5″, 2″, 2.5″ and 5″ squares. There are some strips that I will keep as well.
Indy Modern Quilt Guild is hosting a yard sale at this month’s meeting. I will be taking some of my fabrics there. Now off to sort more of my stash and figure out what’s really going to stay.
