The rest is sorted by color.

I do love scrap and I get really sad when I have used the last of a particular fabric and find myself wanting to replace it. <br />Sure wish I was as organised as you Pam. Must confess I am surrounded in fabric like a big hug. It is sort of organised :-)<br />Cheers<br />LynneLynnehttp://treadlestreasures.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068518284057885551.post-62198335872162670412011-06-10T14:13:10.482-05:002011-06-10T14:13:10.482-05:00I used to save scraps in color coded bins, but aft...I used to save scraps in color coded bins, but after 20 years of never using more than one or two of them...my fabric tastes changed...I donated them to a woman who makes dog beds for a local animal shelter.

I like the colour organization idea. I might actually use my scraps. Anything smaller than 1" is tossed.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854012098533662222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068518284057885551.post-31905469278167655262011-06-10T10:56:02.557-05:002011-06-10T10:56:02.557-05:00Though time consuming, I bet it was fun to go thro...Though time consuming, I bet it was fun to go through all of your scraps - they probably all have good memories that go along with them!
