Workshop

My focus today will be on those chunky scraps. You know the ones smaller than a fat quarter but bigger than a charm. I like to store these precious pieces in shoe box sized bin according to color.  This allows me to easily find the color and fabric I want when pulling for a new project.  If you would like to learn more about my scrap sorting and using methods.  Be sure to join my FREE Workshop.  

Video Tutorials

My YouTube channel is also full of scrap friendly blocks you can mix and match.

Find scrap friendly blocks like the bowtie, leaf, shoo fly and more.

One of my all time favorite scrap busting blocks is the maverick star. I use it all the time. In fact my logo is based on this scrap friendly block. Find lots of quilt patterns using this block in the post 10 Star Quilts to Brighten Your January.

Quick Cutting

I like to use my AccuQuilt Go to quickly bust through my chunky scraps. I recently did a post on my favorite scrap busting dies. It may help you manage your scraps. Get deals on AccuQuilt Go products. I recently cut out all the half square triangles for another Sunshine on a Cloudy Day quilt from my chunks bin using the Go. It went so fast. In less than an hour I had it all cut out.

I also cut out my disappearing four patch that way. Click the link to learn how to make your own with my free tutorial.

I hope that gives you a good jumping off place to help you bust through your scrappy chunks.
