So, working bin by bin, I took every long scrap strip I could find and cut strips for a Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt (tutorial). The only discrimination I made was to leave out browns. Browns not welcome in this quilt, sorry!
I felt like I was cutting for forever but my stacks seem so small! It's interesting to see what colors you are strong in, I had tons of blues followed closely by pinks/oranges, then small stacks of yellows/greens and neutrals.
I ended up with 120 strips to make a good throw size.
The easy part is now done, sewing the strips together.
Have a great weekend!

You are posting faster than I can read them. You machine you.
I am looking forward to seeing this. I love scrappy trip quilts
Interesting. I'm curious what it will look like
i've made scrappy trips a few times now but none of mine have come from scraps. i just don't store long strips and have to cut them from stash. strings and teeny scraps though...those i have in abundance.
