I think one of the reasons your scrap blocks are so attractive in the bags, etc. is because you pull out the white as an accent ... I call that the focus fabric. Any color can be a focus fabric, but it sure does make your scrap bolts look more cohesive and less chaotic.

It was very gratifying to find someone who does their scraps this way. The only thing i do differently is I cut 9.5 inch squares. I have made at leat 8 quilt tops so far and can make about 4 more. I am trying to get them completed so I can possibly sell them. I also have been making some backs with large scarps adding in random fat quarters. It is a fun process and i am so happy to not be wasting fabric. Thank you for your video. I am now a subscriber too

Great work. It is quite satisfying when we actually finish a project. I was chosing fabric for a crazy quilt I would like to make this year yesterday. In the process I opened a couple of shoeboxes and realized there was a bunch of blocks I had started for another quilt. Then I counted up in my head how many projects I started and did not finish, there's about 4 or 5. Not sure what that's about, but I am going to try to finish at least one project before I start another one. I think we just like to make things and the ideas keep popping in our heads. I don't know. I guess I need to learn to "power through" as you said. Thank you for the video.

That's great. I've been working on my scraps for more than 2 months (weekends only). I have just been so overwhelmed by my scraps that I decided to put some quilt projects aside and sew some of my scraps up. I sewed up some like you did in your video but I also cut some to standard sizes and I've made 2 scrap quilts that I'll donate. The problem with scraps is you end up with more scraps after trimming them up - I make pet beds with those scraps. I really do feel like I can never get ahead of my scraps though. You did a great job and I enjoyed watching your process.

Great job! It's amazing how quickly you can make a roll of fabric like that. I do something similar and use widish strips of remade fabric down the centre of my quilt backs. That cuts down on the amount of backing fabric that I need. It is very satisfying to make new fabric out of what was headed to the landfill otherwise. Cheers! 😊

I think this video and "Turn Scraps Into Good!" video are the two definitive videos that have changed my thinking about my scraps - - I love them, but I am always behind. However, by watching your videos a few time each, I am finally seeing my weaknesses (which explain why I sometimes feel overwhelmed - - but ... not enough to stop gather scraps! LOL) anyway, when I get discouraged, I watch your scrap videos and get inspired to keep working at it.

For those who asked how long it took-this doesn’t have to be done all in one setting, get a designated container and quickly sew the scraps at the end of your sewing day or end of each project, or designate 15 minutes a day. You will still have the same wonderful results. 😊❤

I just came across your video, I make 10" crumb squares and use them for backing. I put a 2.5 " strip on the sides top and bottom so they don't get to thick when sewing on my projects. I love how you made the bolt of scraps. I am going to do this . I have over 300 10" squares made. Question So if I take some of them and cut them down to 18" and sew the sqs together it would work like yours? Should I do any thing different? From now on I will make bolts of fabric, sorted by colors. Thanks again for a great tutorial.😘🥰

There is certainly room on this bolt for wider fabric, so you could make it 20" wide instead of 18", so you would not have to cut anything down, maybe. I am glad you found the video helpful!
