Well now that the scraps are so neat and organized, I just can't seem to stay out of them.
I have two classes scheduled now. One is ongoing on Sunday afternoons and is finished with their first project 
and ready for more. (See group quilt photo above. )
and ready for more. (See group quilt photo above. )This group is very informal and everyone seems content to work at their own pace. One person has already finished her second project which led me to go in search of ideas for a third. Alas, I have no pictures of the second project as yet.
Anyway, I needed a sample and the scrap bins provided just the right stuff for the boxy stars quilt shown here. Pattern can be found on www.quiltville.com. Of course, I resized it for those who wanted to work with bigger pieces.
The next thing on my agenda was a project that could be used to teach the Quilt-As-You-Go method designed by Susan Nelson. Once again I went to the scrap bins and created the small runner shown here. Now I know my calculations are right and I can proceed to make the kits for people to use in class.
It seems I've had lots of treasures hiding in the scrap bins. For now at least I have a plan for staying caught up with them. I set a drawer aside for collecting scraps and I'm determined that everytime that drawer gets full, I will take an evening and sort them out and put them in bins so they will be ready for my next creative moment.
