Letting the Scraps Fly

 A few months ago I saw this trunk show for this book and I pre-ordered it lickity-split.

With so many great quilts, although I will probably make them bigger, I consider the book to be a bargain. Do I need more quilt patterns? Of course not, but that didn't stop me and now that I have the book, my only problem is deciding which quilt to make first.

 I've already spent a couple of hours pouring over the possibilities. 

Looking at the cutting instructions, I can see where a scrap users system like Bonnie Hunter uses would be handy. Lot's of 1 1/2", 2", and 2 1/2" pieces. I keep some strips, but not many 

so I see a lot of cutting in my future, but I'll cut a little here and there and designate a bin for each quilt:

Eenie, meenie, miney moe...

I can see that I am going to have 2 favorite pattern books now - I took them in on Monday to have them spiral bound

I also took my sewing machine in for a good cleaning so for the time being, the scraps will be flying as I cut them into usable pieces
