Fed Up With Scraps

This basket of scraps has to go!

So many times I just want to throw it all in the trash (or at least the compost pile)

but I just can't do it--way too wasteful.

Last night I pulled out what few scraps were good quality and modern.

(had to be both) and, with Stitchin' Therapy's idea in mind, I started cutting.

 I don't know if this is a good idea or not but

I've decided to cut it all up into 2 different sizes of "coins". 

ALL of it.  Kind of scary.

2.5X6 and 3X6

If it's smaller than that, it's out the door.

With these I'm going to make at least 2 scrappy coin quilts.

I can use up scraps, practice my free motion quilting and have quilts

to donate by the end of...well, hopefully sooner rather than later. 

We're avoiding UFOs around here.

Really looking forward to having a much smaller scrap basket!

Market update

I cut out some very random cozies last night & picked out buttons.

(I think the buttons are what makes them fun.)

Way too many interesting fabrics to pick from but I wanted to cover

 a variety of tastes to start with. 

My plan is to make at least one Market item a day (weekdays)

for a while to get caught up.

Let's see what we can get done today.

I've got my latte so here I go...
