You don’t need to sort the whole bin, just enough to get you started.Īnd, because my fabric is all over the floor I can sort and find the length I need easily for each block without much effort. Pull out scraps and sort them into equal lengths. Once you’ve dumped your scraps it’s time to do a quick sort. The dump method makes it easier to see what you have while sewing and sorting. Step one is to DUMP the bin on the floor! So here’s where things get down and dirty… (No reason to add extra work.) Once a color bin is overflowing it’s time to tackle the scraps! I lay my scraps in the bin nice and flat so I don’t have to iron them when I use them. These bins contain my string-like scraps - long skinny pieces I’ve saved from the trash can.

You’d think I’d totally depleted that box, but it looks like I’ve hardly made a dent! (I could probably make a few more quilts, just from the red scraps that are left over!) I pulled out my red scrap bin for this quilt. There’s no serious measuring or math, so they come together really quickly. You may remember my red blocks I made last year.
