Scrap Management

I got the Accuquilt mats I ordered—I got my new dies a couple of weeks ago. I ordered the 5” squares and the 2-1/2” x 4-1/2” rectangles. So, instead of working on my to-do list, I cut up scraps yesterday. I have a couple of totes full of scraps, plus a large tote bag. 

I cut 5” squares

and the rectangles for “potato chip” quilts.

There’s not much waste depending on how I fold the fabric, but I did put the leftover strips in a bag to use for string quilts.

My 5” boxes are almost full at this point.

I really want to find time to work on the potato chips, but other things are taking priority. I’m going to try and complete a couple of items from the to-do list, and then maybe I can work on potato chips.
