Scrap-a-palooza day 4

I cut this pile of scraps which only took a couple hours.

 

Here are the pieces I ended up with - 3 1/2", 2 1/2", 2", and 1 1/2" squares, a couple 4 1/2" x 16.5" for chevron quilts, and a pile for string blocks

I wanted to cut more so I grab this pile sitting on top of the bins of scraps. I cut a lot yesterday and finished them up this morning.

Here is what I ended up with.

The 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" trays are getting full!

I decided that I will work on this small bin of scraps so I can use it to store either the 2 1/2" or 3 1/2" squares. I will need a small container for each size so the next bunch of scraps I cut after this bin will be ones in another small bin. What is nice is this small bin will fit on the same shelf unit the trays are stored on.

I appreciate all your wonderful comments and encouragement. I am learning that it takes patience and a sharp blade in the rotary cutter to plow thru these scraps. The sun is shining finally today - it has been very gray and rainy - so I plan on getting outside and take a break from scrap cutting.  I will be doing a bit of clean up around the yard and spread more mulch to the flower beds. With all the wind lately there are about a billion sticks that need picked up!
