Organizing Fabric Scraps for Quilting: Here Are My Top 5 Tips
Quilting is a beloved craft that often leaves us with a colorful array of fabric scraps. Effectively organizing these remnants not only keeps your workspace tidy but also enhances your quilting experience. Here are my top 5 tips for organizing fabric scraps:
Sort by Color:
Organize your fabric scraps by color to easily access a spectrum of options for future projects.
Consider subcategories like warm and cool tones for more nuanced sorting.
Size Matters:
Sort scraps by size to quickly identify pieces suitable for specific projects.
Use clear containers or labeled bins to keep different size categories distinct.
Theme or Project-Based Organization:
Group scraps based on themes or projects to streamline your creative process.
Store project-specific scraps together to make it easy to grab what you need.
Utilize Scrap Storage Systems:
Invest in storage systems designed for fabric scraps, such as clear plastic containers
or hanging organizers.
Transparent containers offer visibility, making it effortless to locate the desired fabric.
Regular Maintenance:
Dedicate time for periodic organizing sessions to prevent an overwhelming buildup of scraps.
Weed out unusable or small pieces during maintenance to keep your collection manageable.
By implementing these tips, you’ll transform your fabric scrap collection into a well-organized and accessible resource. Enjoy a more efficient and enjoyable quilting journey with a neatly arranged array of fabrics at your fingertips.

I am new to patchwork and I am slightly in awe of all the beautiful materials available and of all the patterns for download. Once the basics are achieved then there are endless items to be hand sewn, patch worked and quilted. By hand of course since it is more rewarding and pleasurable in today’s technological world! The old skills are the best.
I am just starting quilting so I really could use some fabric.Being a man I still get strang looks when I go to buy my fabric, so if I win then that saves one trip.
I have just started to teach my 22 year old daughter to quilt and this would be a nice surprise to give her!
