Today, I've made myself a promise. I will get rid of most of my scraps before attempting a new project. I decided to make scrappy blocks and put them nice and neat in a pizza box. My pizza box should hold up to a 16" X 16" block. This way the blocks will keep wrinkle free until it's time to make a projects. Here is my first block.

Good start for using your scraps. Lyn

No pattern, just crazy block. You can see the technique at:

You have now inspired me to start using my own scraps. Lovely block.

Thank you

I like your pizza box. The ones we now get pizza in have a cut out so one can see the contents. Can't use them but I have a number of the other kind.
I recommend a label in some way either with picture, fabric, or name of block on the edge so that when you stack them you do not have to go through a dozen of them before you find the right one.

That'a funny.

When I was making my first quilt, I kept my 12 1/2" blocks in a pizza box. The local pizza gave me a box.

Potholders? Tote bags? Vest? Lots of ideas for this pretty square.

Thank you, I need more ideas.

Love this idea! I'm a fabric lover and do find it hard to part with any scraps this would solve that problem. :))
