☀️ WELCOME! ☀️ I EMPTIED MY SCRAP BIN! ♻️ With no set design plan in place, I simply started sewing scraps together: first by 2s, then by 4s, and continuing. I ended up with a BOLT of scrap fabric ready to be used in future projects! ✂️ The finished bolt is 24 feet long, and the average width is 16 inches. (7.31 meters by about 40 centimeters). Total project time 19 hours, 40 minutes (of which round one along took 9 hours). I hope you use this idea to have some FUN with your scraps!

I sew my scraps together each MONTH. I can't stand to go longer than a month. It makes me not want to go into my sewing room if I have stuff looking at me in a pile. LoL. After i sew it monthly I cut it into 12 inch squares. I have made several lap throws for the elderly in my church. I leave them on the pews and if they wish to they can take them home. If not after a month or so of cold weather I bring them home to wash. Year round I leave about 10 of them at church. The congregation knows where they are if not on a pew. I have made many for a local nursing facility as well. It's my self mission I will continue as God allows me to sew.

Just finished using all my scraps, took all winter. Made 8 inch squares with black edges. Finished looked like stain glass!

I was going to do this and started to with my scraps. I realized I was finding no joy or satisfaction in doing so. I decided to donate my scraps to the local senior center since they make quilts for children in the hospital. I feel good that they are put to use for something positive not wasted and thats the perfect usefulness for my scraps. The only scraps I keep are strips now. Keep having fun , otherwise what's the point.

Oh my....you are making me cry and cry....a young lady gave me a box of tiny scraps and said pick two and sew....add another and sew....I MADE A QUEEN SIZE RAG A SCRAP QUILT....I WAS SUPER PROUD....then she said....cut that into ten inch square!!!! I WAS ANGRY I LOVE MY MASTERPIECE...so I ended up with two quilts...one with ten inch squares with beautiful two inch framing AND MY MOST PRIZED QUILT THE ONE THAT WAS JUST SCRAPS SEWN TOGETHER....thank you for your detail video....although I had tears of great memories learning how to make my VERY FIRST QUILT AS A GROWN ADULT...so today I make messy quilts and eat chocolates AND EVERYTHING IS SWEET AND PERFECT

I grew up in TN and this would be called a "crazy quilt". It's my favorite kind of quilt!!! Thanks for detailing your process!

I did this during a low point in my life when i couldn't get any "real" sewing done. I made 6 1/2" squares, and by the time my crumbs were used up, I had 117 of them. Then the show choir I sing in started planning a Dolly Parton themed show that included "Coat of Many Colors". Guess what I did with those squares? 😊

8 yards of scrap fabric???? What a complete treasure! Can't wait to see what you do with it! I'm going to start sewing my scraps together on each and every Sunday evening.... I have subscribed to keep myself updated on your scrap progress (As well as other things!). I just found you--so glad!

I sew my scrap together and cut them into 12x12 squares and use them in my backings for my scrappy quilts and bags.

@scrappyquilter102 2 years ago

I sewed my scraps and crumbs together into 4 1/2" squares (found this smaller size to be quite handy). Then I sewed them together into curtains - WOW are they ever BRIGHT!

@Dianaprimartinez 2 years ago

Franken-fabric! I love it. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

@aktarango 2 years ago

My scraps I keep are color coded. But I think a mini bolt of them in the same color way would be awesome!

@clairjohnson2221 2 years ago

You threw out alot of little scraps, but still ended up with an enormous piece of fabric. How great.

@corrinneloudon525 2 years ago

I sort my scraps into colour families and make log cabins and then quilts out of them. I didn’t know that anyone else did this. Thankyou. Lovely music 💐
