This is just a short post to show everyone how I manage my scraps when I’m finished making a quilt.
I use the sides of the extra backing and trim them up as neatly as possible to make my own pre-cuts. I make a clean cut as close as possible to the rough edge.
I generally prefer a 5″ square to start.
Anything I have left over, I will turn into 2.5″ strips.
This particular cut earned me what would be considered a little bit more than a regular Charm Pack and a couple of two and a half inch strips! This is #Moda fabric so I can truly call it a Charm Pack. 😉
If I have big enough pieces, I will make 10″ squares out of those. I rarely have enough left over for a fat quarter.
How do you manage your leftover scraps?
