Organization!

I spent a little while yesterday organizing all my scraps. 

Before:

 (Pile #1)

(Pile #2)

After:

 (YAYAYAYAYAAA!!)

 ("Big Scraps")

 (Medium Square/Rectangle Scraps)

 ("Batting Scraps")

 ("Selvage Scraps" *** note my spelling error, woops***)

 ("Small Square/Rectangle Scraps")

 ("Triangle Scraps")

 ("Binding Strips" wrapped around old thread spools)

("Strip Scraps")

And there it is, all sorted! I don't plan on doing anymore scrappy projects for a while, so these will be put away for a bit. 

How do you keep your scraps? Suggestions?

More Mug Rugs!!!

I can't stop making them. I really need to stop, but they are so much fun and pretty easy to make.

These were not nearly as planned as the mug rugs I made here. I made them SOLELY from scraps! With the exception of the pea green fabric I snagged from Joann's last minute. I am really a terrible fabric cutter. I have a lot of scraps. It was exciting to make some scrappy things, so take a look:

 (Organizing some scraps)

 (More scraps)

 (Matching some mug rugs up)

 (Getting batting and backing paired up)

 (Lots of straight-line quilting)

 (Getting binding strips all cut and paired up)

 (Pinning!)

 (All pinned up and now its time for binding....)

I have to finish up binding most of these babies. Not exactly sure of their purpose yet; I may be storing them away for starting my shop or craft fair.
