Call me crazy but..

Impulsively last night, I started cleaning my fabric bins.  I don't know why.  Maybe my brain said "that is IT!  Organize yourself before going any further!".  I have no idea.  But I started and found 3 baskets of scraps.  Little scraps, big scraps.  Bits of fabric... some from  my favorite lines and not so favorite.  Then I looked over at Amelia's fabric bucket; which I should have taken a picture of.  You wouldn't believe the mountain of scraps that were in there and I had a vision.  Get rid of them.  Throw them away and never look back.

I went through them and kept some of the bigger pieces for myself and Amelia.  Some went into my Granny Square container because some day I will finish those blocks.  The rest?  Well, here they are.

Well geez.  I wish I could show you but blogger isn't uploading my photos.  What gives, blogger??

I'll just have to tell you then.  I threw out 4 bags of scraps.  FOUR.  Call me crazy but I just couldn't hang on to them anymore.  I have a ton of projects started, another ton that I want to start and work on and all kinds of new fabric lines to go with said projects.  Scraps?  I won't do anything with them.

I feel like I broke one of the most cardinal rules of a quilter.  Throwing out fabric.  Don't throw stones.

It had to be done, my friends.  It had to be done.  And you know what?  I feel much better doing it.

Enjoy your day!
