Nothing like putting off that scrap organization...again! I bet it feels great to get rid of/give away those scraps.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286111523302832267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601992465130715997.post-8439909783986655522017-05-26T11:54:48.561-04:002017-05-26T11:54:48.561-04:00Sounds like your scraps are going to a good home. ...Sounds like your scraps are going to a good home.

I just got a GO! and really like it. I resisted a long time thinking I could easily live without one...lol. But it really does speed things up and the cuts are so precise. I especially like it for tumbler blocks now. (That was a very kind thing you did...bags of scraps for a new quilter? What a great gift---fabrics already color coordinated. She'll remember this.)kupton52https://www.blogger.com/profile/06144423270354113422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601992465130715997.post-50324836423755966152017-05-25T14:29:35.408-04:002017-05-25T14:29:35.408-04:00No guilt allowed!

We must like similar color palettes because I always like your color choices.

I ...I know those feelings of guilt and understand. I moved a year ago and had the daring to throw away so many scraps and even my collection of selvages just to avoid dealing with packing. I also gifted some of my stash to a friend to whom I was saying goodbye; she is a quilter and was thrilled to receive them. My stash is smaller and has fewer scraps now but it's still plenty to keep me occupied. <br />I don't have a Go Cutter but I do have a Sizzix Big Shot which is a craft cutter and I've been told it will cut fabrics tho I haven't tried that yet. My arthritic hand and wrist joints hate me when I use the rotary cutter much so any help with cutting is a blessing.<br />Have a great day. xo connieConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17630518561509369935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601992465130715997.post-59999098443274204952017-05-25T08:11:04.483-04:002017-05-25T08:11:04.483-04:00what size pieces do you normally use?

It isn't like you are throwing them away you are passing them on to another - my scraps tend to sit in boxes forever before I get around to using them I doubt I will ever use all of them but I do like to use them but it is so much easier to grab pre-cut and cut the size you need.Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601992465130715997.post-28012431362759346122017-05-25T07:58:24.080-04:002017-05-25T07:58:24.080-04:00Love your design wall, the colors remind me of the...Love your design wall, the colors remind me of the beach, wish I was on one right now. Its rainy and cold here. What a brave gal you are to just let all those scraps go. Can't imagine what that must feel like...scary..liberating...I'm sure with every quilter it's different emotion. For me it would be scary. Well Kudo's to you letting go, I'm sure she's going have many happy hours of playtime sorting through those bags.Podunk Prettieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703561153249594430noreply@blogger.com
