The biggest challenge will be in deciding what to do with your scraps.
I make Charity quilts and I only use Cotton fabric so anything that is a polyester or blends gets cut up for pet beds and donated to my local animal shelter.
Remember, this is how I do it because this makes sense to me. In your sewing room, you are the ruler and you can make your rules accordingly.
I only cut 1.5 in, 2.0 in and 2.5 in strips from my scraps, I tend to put aside the long narrow scrapes for cutting these strips. I would also look for fabrics that I can cut into 2.o x 3.5 inch rectangles for Potatoe chip blocks.
If the scrap is a smaller rectangle or squarish, I add these to my crumbs bins and those are sorted by color as well for project like EPP and Kawandi quilts.
The only scrap fabrics that I put into my strap boxes is items too large for a crumb but too small for a fat quarter. That way, I don't overwhelm my scrap fabric storage.
If the piece is bigger than a fat quarter, I put that piece in with my yardage by color. My yardage bins are sorted by color into Fat quarters and larger yardage.
If the piece is less than a 1.5 inch width, I put these fabric scraps, in my string bin.
If the piece is less than 3/4 inch wide, I add this to the pet bed bag as it is too small to work with.
Please remember that quilting and piecing is about having fun not feeling pressured! If you need scrap fabrics to make a quilt, you can ask other quilters or quilt guild members and I'm sure they would gladly share some of theirs with you.
I hope this helps you conquer your Mount Scrapmore!

“Just make a decision and move on” is my biggest stumbling block to conquering my scraps. I absolutely love your cutting up the polyester to ensure you aren’t tempted to use it 😂
Hello Stephanie! I'm glad you liked this video. I have talked to my local quilt guilds for donations and other quilting friends. Also scrapes can sometimes be purchased from your Local Quilt Store for a modest price and the scraps are even sometimes color coordinated. I like to think of those donations as a blessing and I use those scrap fabrics first. We will be doing a free sew along in the fall for this Nosegay quilt (or Brides Bouquet) on this channel. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for watching and supporting our little channel
I'm overwhelmed with scrap from projects. Great ideas. Thank you, Brenda!
Hello Susan! I'm glad you liked this video. I'm so sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed but come up with a plan for your sewing room and just go for it. It will be ok. I have talked to my local quilt guilds for donations and other quilting friends.

I enjoyed this video..some good tips, but mostly because it felt like a visit with a quilting friend. Such fun!
Hello Marty! I'm glad that you liked my video. I hope you have an amazing week ahead! The next virtual sew date is on Aug 5, 2023 at 9:00 am to 5:00 pm MST. If you are interested, please come and sew with us. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
I forgot to mention this in my last comment that I did one charity lap quilt using scraps: it was 36" x 36". Using earth toned colors from what Nana gave me I did one solid log cabin block and had a raffle. We were able to raise 100.00 for a local women's shelter, and what was really neat was that a man was the winner!
Hi Celeste! That is so awesome that you make charity quilts as well with your scraps. Those quilts mean so much to those people when they get them. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for your kind comments as they mean so much to us here.
Thank you for your video! Two more things if anyone is interested. 1) I was making some half square triangles (HST) - 160 of them! 2-1/2 squares; when I finished them, before I cut the excess off, I put a 1/2 seam away from the original seam and then cut it. I will use these 'crumbs' for one of my crumb quilts. 2) For the excess that I have no use for, I put them in a bag and use these 'unusable' scraps into stuffing for animal pillows; SPCA, Humane Society, animal shelters, etc. Keeps the fabric out of the landfills! Happy Sewing!

I will never forget the first time I went to my local quilt shop and they “ripped” my fabric!!! I screamed and squealed at the same time and she smiled sooo big!!!! I had no idea what she was doing- needless to say I learned sooo much on that trip💜💜💜💜
Hello Martha! I'm happy that you like our video! Ripping the fabric finds the straight of grain. Sorry for the late reply as I was on vacation with my daughters.

Thank you so much for sharing all your tips on scrap quilting…it always helps me because I do scrap quilting for all my charity quilts…I love to sew and sometimes it's fun to mindless sew and be able to donate beautiful quilts to less fortunate people…I am so grateful for you sharing your tutorials and especially the potato chip blocks as I have been able to make twice as many quilts for donation and they look terrific!
Your channel is so inspiring and refreshing as you share your talents with such grace and dignity…I appreciate you and your husband and especially your tutorials….
Keep going as I am sure you have lots more scrap quilts to share with us!!!
God Bless you for all you do for Charity….we need more people like you🥰

Scrap sorting- great idea. Enjoyed seeing your decision process. I have bags and bins of scraps. I’d better get busy! Thanks, Brenda. You’re always a bright light of inspiration!!

I have bins and bins of scraps, too. I am working on them a little at a time. I have tried several different methods, but I sort by color and size. I cut into precut sizes, 2 1/2 inch, 5 inch, and 10 inch. I had tried other sizes, too, but decided it was too many and too hard to keep sorted, so 3 precut sizes and colors are my plan. (Let's see if my plan changes. It has in the past.)
My Nana made scrap quilts, crazy quilts being her favorite! When I lived in Nevada we would trade scrap material by mail! When she was alive, she, my daughter and I were a three generations of quilting. I enjoyed your video, and thank you!

Hello Brenda. Thank you very much for sharing.
It's nice to see how you work and listen to you.
You have such beautiful pieces of fabric. I rested watching and listening to you. I would be happy to listen to your conversation over a cup of coffee and take up hand sewing.
Have a good day. See you next time. With respect and love to you!

Thanks for sharing, I love the quilt behind you, using different sizes, and shapes of triangles and making them fit together. Even the added tiny squares look like triangles, love all the crazy colors. I have so many scrapes to cut, iron, and sort just to get started. If you do the quilt behind you, I vote for "large" on the size. My fingers like to work on larger items.

I love playing with/sorting fabric scraps (yes, I am a bit OCD too) but it has taken a long time to attempt a crumb quilt. I put aside anything bright, mainly primary colours, and pieced together scraps of wadding, self binding with a piece of new fabric that I had bought in a sale years ago. I love the end product. Having watched your video, I am now keen to try my first Kawandi quilt. Thanks for sharing.

I always imagine making a scrap quilt, but a mystery donation pile seems more fun. (Then possibly dye it for an all over color wash, but all the different fabrics, prints and colors, to be like, hot pink for example) thank you for the ideas! 🤗

Love to watch someone else sort! I sort by colour. I have bins for under a fat quarter and drawers for fat quarter pieces. I have very few larger pieces because I love scrap piecing. When a certain colour bin gets full I know to make a quilt focused on that colour. I loved the quilt behind you and would love a sew along. 🇨🇦❤️

Hi Brenda, Just catching your video before bedtime. You were able to make very quick work with your scrap donation. Good Job. ☺️
Last week I discovered I wasn’t able to join on the 22nd, I guess I need to use a computer not an iPad to join a zoom mtg. Oh well, I’ve been putting that off and now I seem to have a list of reasons to purchase one. 🤣🤣 I was so disappointed, but oh well.
Have a wonderful weekend. 🥰 Chris

I put the 'scraps' in a fabric bag that then becomes a cage bed for shelter cat/dog, when they are adopted the bed goes with them. Sizes depend on the bigger pieces in Mount Scrapmore or ones I piece. Cotact local shelter fo size they need or make your pets a bed.

I’d be making lavender bags , pin cushions or similar little items from poly scraps of a decent size .. it hurts my heart to chop up fabric with no faults like stains etc …..I’ve always had a small crafting budget so never waste anything I can make something from….. most of my small items I donate to school Mother’s Day stalls or fetes for other groups and small items always sell well especially with children buying with just a few dollars 🥰

can you explain the difference between crumbs and strings? Love your channel, so fun!
Hello Elaina! I'm glad that you like this video. For me, a string is long and narrower than 2.25 inch wide and no shorter than the length of my thumb and not necessarily straight.

The next virtual sew date is the first Saturday of the month and starts at 9:00am to 5:00pm MST. If you are interested, please come. I hope you have a fun and creative week ahead. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel.
I ejoy your videos.i do save the tiny ones to start the crazy squares i make for the mats for the local SPCA.. somehow it is quite satisfying to rip fabric! Lol
