Some of the scraps in my sewing room are sorted by colour. This is what the Pink and Purple drawer looks like:

Drawer of odd pieces of pink and purple that don't have homes anywhere else. |
This is a collection of odd bits. Anything larger than a FQ, or anything that has been cut into one of my favourite useful sizes is not in this drawer. And this is how full the drawer is now, AFTER a couple of projects that were done specifically to use some of this!
I spent a happy afternoon picking out squares (and cutting out more squares from some of the bigger pieces) to make this pink and green quilt.

Lap-sized quilt will be used as a Prayer Quilt by my church group. |
And I've just finished a quilt top that will be a gift for a new baby girl. (Since the picture was taken quilting has been done. Pink binding has been added and is being stitched down as we speak!)

Baby quilt from 2" squares and triangles. |
I can't imagine how many more quilt tops could be lurking in just this one drawer of scraps. Isn't it a wonderful thing that we have such riches of fabric resources that we never need to worry about running out!
