My scrap bins over-floweth!
With the end of the year looming, I have been focused on finishing as many projects as I can. Once I finish a project, all the bits in the project box get put away.
Which means handfuls of scraps are stuffed into my color bins!
So this holiday weekend, I have been sorting, pressing and cutting up a bunch of scraps with my AccuQuilt fabric cutter.
I store my 2.5" squares in silverware trays sorted by color. I am mostly focused on cutting up the odd shaped and older scraps. I am teaching my Geese Migration quilt to a number of guilds starting in January - so having a bunch of pre-cut squares to share is always nice.
The greens are done, now it is on to the blues!
Want to take a class from me? I would love to teach my Geese Migration quilt to your local quilt store, guild or sewing group. Right now, I am focusing on just teaching in the PNW but it never hurts to check with me if there is an interest in your area. You will look at scraps in a whole new way!

More scrap quilts going on here than I can count at times - just the other day my daughter asked how many quilts was I making right now and I really had to stop and think!
Geese Migration sure looks like a great way to use scraps, scraps, scraps!
What a great scrappy quilt. I recently purchased the flying geese die for my GO, so might need to try this.
You've just reminded me that I need to get back to Geese Migration (or in my case, Geese on the Move)! I think I have all the blocks made, just need to settle on sashing and a layout.
serious scrappy sewing here...love how your store your 2.5" squares!
You have one of the best organizing methods for squares I've seen! They look so neat and tidy! Good luck with teaching...Migration would be the perfect quilt for a class!
That's a great way to store the squares!
I love that quilt!
Thanks for reminding me about how your store your little squares. It's such a good idea! Wish I could come take a class from you, too - that would be so fun!
The silverware tray idea is fantastic! :)
Your picture is very inspiring to get my scraps cut! It looks like there is a paint chip between the colors - ingenious!
That quilt has been on my bucket list since it was in Quilty!! Wouldn't that be fun for you to come to CO? I am totally checking if there is interest!!!
So organized! Good for you! Love your quilt, color placement is perfect in this one :)
Oh, I love the geese!
And I admire your organization.
Love your geese! Another great scrap quilt!!!
I seriously need to cut scraps with my Accuquilt Go! as well. I haven't taken the time but the scrap bin runneth over! Love your Geese Migration quilt.
Your Geese Migration quilt is beautiful! I really like the idea of using a paint swatch with your scraps and sorting them by color!
I have the pattern for Geese Migration, but haven't had a chance to actually make it yet. It's a gorgeous quilt.
Just popped over from the Henry Glass site - now I'm a follower by e-mail. Love your designs and blog posts. Have a happy holiday season!
