Scrap mania!

I’m taking my time and being very thorough with the sewing room set up.  Yesterday that meant a major scrap sort!

Presort:

Pre Sort-

And post sort!

Post Sort

I’m not great about using my little scraps but maybe if they are sorted by color I will? In any case, I have more than I’ll ever use and should give some to you. Comment with your two favorite colors and I’ll pick a couple of winners on Monday.  A scrap pack will then be on it’s way to you!  Good luck and happy weekend to you all!

    I just organized mine by color as well! :) That’s so sweet of you to share!

    My two favorite colors right now are pink and turquoise!

  2. Jennifer Singer Says:

    Those greens and oranges are calling to me. Lovely scraps by the way!

  3. janet Says:

    SRCAPS!!! I <3 scraps! My favs are pink and green….but I also like orange and gray :)

  4. Jules Says:

    How lovely – I wish I was half as organized. As for colors, I am convinced that it doesn’t get better than pink and orange.

  5. Alecia Says:

    Aqua and green or Aqua and pink. Tough call!

  6. mommymae Says:

    i just moved, too & my sewing room is the last place to be put together. i like this idea for scraps since one huge bin is quite overwhelming.

    i’m loving green & yellow right now

  7. Andrea_R Says:

    The reds and browns are calling to me. :)

  8. nikki Says:

    I use lots of green and orange. They manage to work their way into almost all of my projects.

    Now that I’ve got such a great sewing space, I should really get my stash better organized. especially my scraps.

  9. Jen Says:

    organized scraps make me happy.
    I could totally use the purple. I’m about to make a purple quilt for a friends new baby and would love to add those to the back of it! and well the lime. Lime is my favorite right now.

  10. Cindy Says:

    Love your blog! I really like green and blue.

  11. Linda Says:

    I’m in a red and orange mood right now. Thanks for sharing!

  12. SewLindaAnn Says:

    I love playing with scraps, favorite colors right now are browns and blues.

  13. CitricSugar Says:

    Orange and blue – but I’m in love with scraps period!! Thanks for the chance. :-)

  14. Holly Says:

    Does being organized make the same difference in your day as it does in mine? My favorite colors are brown and blue… they are both so calm and earthy to me. I am actually repainting my bedroom in those colors, and was thinking about making some items like pillows to coordinate. Have a great weekend!

  15. Stephanie Says:

    I would love the orange and green! Thanks for the chance to win!

  16. Michele Says:

    I love playing with scraps. Orange and green are today’s favorites, but I really haven’t ever met a color I didn’t like.

  17. Nancy R Says:

    Oh so organized! I would love some browns or grays

  18. beth lehman Says:

    I will be watching your sorting process for all my scraps – I always love greens and blues – although your pinks look fun, too!

  19. Natalie Says:

    Hey Alissa! I am totally loving purples and oranges right now. I don’t have much of either on my own but I think they would make a cool color combo for a spider web quilt.

    On a side note–if you would rather donate your scraps I am working on a project for the Tennessee flood victims that uses blocks of 1 color from every color in the rainbow. I would be happy to use any of the scraps you don’t want anymore for this project and credit you for donating the fabric!

  20. Karen Davis Says:

    oh me oh my… greens and blues please!

  21. Betty Says:

    Green and brown would be a pretty combination!

  22. Sara Says:

    ooh scraps! thank for your generosity. my favorite colors right now are blue and yellow.

  23. Anna Says:

    I’ve never thought to organize my scraps better… maybe I’d use them more? I am loving lime/avocado green with deep purples. Happy Sewing Room Organizing!

  24. nichole Says:

    green and blue! your scrap pile is admirable!

  25. Tong Says:

    Can’t wait to see what your new sewing space looks like! I desperately need to reorganize my sewing room and move it out of the guest room and into the empty sun room, and I need to get some shelving. I love purples and greys/blacks right now, thanks for sharing your wealth of scraps!

  26. Leigh Says:

    I love blue & green!!!!!

  27. Melanie Says:

    I’m envious of your sorted piles.

    My favorite colours are reds and blues.

  28. Amy Hodge Says:

    turquoise and green — good luck getting everything cleaned up!

  29. Patice Says:

    I’d love the opportunity to use some of your scraps to make a green and orange wonky star quilt for my daughter.

  30. Stacy Says:

    You are seriously motivated! I could use some of that energy! :) I LOVE the oranges and blues!!!

  31. Jenny Says:

    orange and gray. can’t get enough of either at the moment!! i love your scrap baskets…they are great!!

  32. Aleisha Rambusch Says:

    I wish I was this organized with my scraps. One day I’ll get around to separating them by color so they are not all in a huge bag.

    My favorite colors are turquoise and red.

    Thanks for sharing!

  33. Jeanine Says:

    My favorite color is blue but I would like to add more red and green to my stash since I tend to shy away from these colors when I shop. Thanks for your generous offer.

  34. Amy Says:

    Oh how fun! Hope you are feeling re-energized by your cleaning and sorting!!! How about blue and brown? Greens are also a favorite around here, if that works out better for you…

  35. Megan Says:

    green and yellow. :) yay for scraps!

  36. Cara Says:

    I love scraps! I have so many projects in queue for them!! I’m sorely in need of purples and neutrals (black, grays, browns). (Love your blog, btw)

  37. CW Says:

    Love the pink and orange scraps. You’re so organized! Can’t wait to see the finished sewing room.

  38. Char Says:

    Oh my goodness, I’m a scrap quilter, I’d love to have them. My favorite colors are green and pink. I see you have some lovely greens!

  39. Georgia Says:

    I am in such a need for scraps, mine are almost gone! My two favorite colors are brown and purple, but I also love green. I guess it’s hard for me to narrow things down when it comes to color :)

  40. Katie Says:

    I def need more scraps. My two favorite colors are pink and blue, but I also love brown and green and have no orange so could probably use some. That was helpful right?

  41. Linda Says:

    Thank you for offering this awesome contest – I love others’ scraps because I have so little of my own. I would have to say my favorites are blue and green because although I have very few scrappy bits of any colors, I have even less boy color scrappage. Thanks again and have a great weekend setting up your new sewing area (and house)!

  42. Liane Says:

    Such wonderful scraps! Two of my favorite colors are green and pink.

  43. Audrie Says:

    I really need to sort out my scraps… maybe I too would use them if I could see them! Favourite colours on quilts are probably greens and blues… although red is high up on the list too :)

  44. Leslie Says:

    Your baskets are too cute! Right now, I’m loving pinks and yellows!
    Thanks/Leslie

  45. Erin M. Says:

    orange and purple are what I lack the most and would be most useful. Funny how other people’s scraps look so good.

  46. Wendy Says:

    My favourite quilts are always scrap quilts. This is such a fabulous giveaway! It’s a tough choice, but I’d go with greens and blues. [Holding thumbs]

  47. ara jane Says:

    i have been scared of orange for a long time. but now i am embracing it, so bring on the orange! which also, i have realized, is a great partner for pink!

  48. Julie W. Says:

    I love blues and browns.

  49. Ramona Says:

    GREEN! show some LAMQG love and let me have your greeen for a quilt for my little dude! (I’ll take some of other colors too, but I’m desperate to collect more green scraps!)

  50. Megan Says:

    Green and orange – all the way! I never liked orange until my daughter adopted it as her favorite color and now I love it. You look so organized – I’m jealous. One of these days I’ll get my scraps into some kind of system. Now they’re just heaped/crammed/jammed into two wastebaskets under my cutting table.

  51. Jacquie Says:

    Orange and green! I was looking through my paltry bag of scraps yesterday and I definitely need to build some up for some projects I’d like to do.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  52. Michelle Says:

    Blue & Green! Love your baskets!

  53. beth Says:

    I love scraps! Do I really have to pick a color? All those baskets look gorgeous to me!

  54. Cindy Says:

    Oh! I am so excited! I LOVE blue & green! The baskets you are using are so cute! Someday my quilt room will be so colorful!

  55. Barbara Says:

    Oh I would pick green and brown. A colour combo I love and need to break away from but just can’t.

  56. Corey Says:

    I love Red & Orange! Your scraps look great–thanks so much for such a great giveaway!

  57. Kirsten Says:

    Ooooh scrappy goodness! I love sorting through other peoples scraps!

  58. Live a Colorful Life Says:

    Orange and pink. Love that combination!

  59. Wendy O. Says:

    They all look so great, but brown and green are my favorite colors. What a great giveaway! Thanks so much.

  60. JaiCi Says:

    My 2 favorite colors are red and black, but I hardly ever use them when quilting….
    When quilting I use a lot of blues and yellows!

  61. Marlena Says:

    I love the lime greens and aquas! I dread sorting scraps but seeing yours all sorted just made me add this to my todo list for this weekend. :) The baskets look gorgeous!

  62. Holly Says:

    Greens and Oranges! Thanks for the chance to enter, your baskets are really cute! =)

  63. Jaclyn Says:

    How pretty … I love those baskets! And what a wonderful giveaway – I am currently working on a large string quilt and your scraps would make a lovely addition. My favorite colors are pink and orange!

  64. Andy Says:

    I applaud you for taking time to set everything up so nicely. My closet is tidy, but not nearly as organized as you. I have good intentions, but once I set foot in my sewing room all I want to do is sew and any thoughts of cleaning or organizing fly right out the window!

    Thanks for sharing your scraps – my favorite two colors would have to be reds and blues!

  65. Leslie Says:

    Really hard, mmm I will pick my girls favorite colors right now, pink and orange

  66. Caro Says:

    Ooh! I love a good scrap sort. It’s so cathartic. I’m a purple and green girl, myself.

  67. Sally Says:

    Pink and Blue!

  68. Ashley Says:

    Love scraps. I always feel like I’ve made something for free when I use them up! And, I have always loved blue and green together.

  69. Heidi J Says:

    I love the browns and violet/reds. Thanks for sharing!

  70. 2hippos Says:

    I’ve been on an orange kick lately, loving deep, rich oranges. Really all deep, jewel colors! As for another color, blue is always my go-to favorite, but I’ll go with yellow since I realized how few yellow fabrics I have in my stash. thanks for the giveaway!

  71. Alisa Says:

    Right now I;m loving green and brown. Earth tones always appeal to me but bright is good too. It’s so hard to pick a favorite color….happy cleaning!

  72. Emily C Says:

    That would be green and blue!

  73. PaulaK Says:

    I love scraps and my stash is low on purple/lavender and orange/peach! You are so kind to give away your scraps!

  74. Emily D Says:

    blue and orange!

  75. Joan Says:

    Are those brown and black scraps I see? If those are brown and black scraps then brown and black would be wonderful.

  76. Lucia Says:

    I love scraps! I’m doing a scrappy leaders & enders project and need more scraps to cut up into 2″ squares.

    I’d love to have some of your purple and green (or yellow!) scraps. I literally have 2 (yes, TWO) purple print scraps and my green (and yellow) scraps are sorely lacking. I feel kind of bad for them. I need to be a little more well rounded with my scraps. Ha.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  77. Mikelle Says:

    I’m making a doll quilt out of purple scraps for my niece(its her favorite color), only I don’y have any purple scraps. This would be awesome!
    I would also love the aqua.

  78. Sarah Says:

    orange and brown! thanks!

  79. Kendra McCuistion Says:

    What a good idea….My stash defitely is lacking in green and pink so those would be my first choices. I LOVE scrappy quilts!

  80. Nicole Says:

    how nice of you to share! I love blue and orange, well actually I love blue and my son loves orange so now I find myself gravitating to orange too

  81. donna Says:

    I’m loving orange and green right now. Fun!
    I’m jealous of your organizational prowess!

  82. Lindsay Says:

    Scraps are so much fun. I love scrappy quilts. I always have a soft spot for orange and yellow.

  83. Kate K Says:

    So nice of you to share and so impressive for you to have color coordinating baskets for your scraps. My favorites are pink and brown. Thank you!

  84. Tina Hansen Says:

    I know what I most gravitate toward, but would rather try something I might not be inclined to purchase. I recently saw a sample of purples and bright greens that caught my eye, so I would like to try those colors. Thank you for the nice offer.

  85. kaelin Says:

    Thanks for sharing your scraps! My favs are blue and green :)

    By the way, a lady contacted me through our New Orleand MQG page and wanted to send me some issues of “FabShop News” to pass around at our next meeting. I was reading through it and saw that you & the MQG were featured in an article! How exciting!

  86. Andy Says:

    My scraps are also sorted by color into boxes. It works great for me – if I’m evaluating a project/block and decide that it needs a bit of x color, I know where to look.

    As for colors, I’m currently “collecting” for a red and aqua quilt.

  87. Amy Says:

    I adore scraps and have made some really fun things out of them! If I win I would love orange and green — my FAVES right now! Thanks for the chance!

  88. Lisa M. Says:

    I have my scraps sorted by shape. Probably not the most efficient way….color makes more sense. Love your little baskets. I am collecting red, white, blue scraps and small scale prints of any color for a couple of projects on the back burner. Thanks for the chance!

  89. Ellen Ban Says:

    I sorted my scraps into plastic rolling carts with drawers. Each drawer holds a different color and I use a lot more of my scraps now!
    My colors of 2010 so far are orange and aqua.

  90. Yael Says:

    Ooh! so pretty! I love the greens and the browns!!!!
    Hope I win!…

  91. Corky Says:

    When sorting scraps I am always torn between three options: 1. Will I use the scrap bin to find that little piece of yellow for the center of my flower or 2. Will I be making a scrap quilt based on lights and darks or 3. Will I be looking for strips of fabrics of all colors.

    Here’s my dilemma: for options 1, sort scraps by color, but for option 2, sort scraps light and dark and for options 3, sort by size and shape

    So, do we have a red box, arranged by light and dark? Are the strips in with the triangles? How can we grab all the lights if they are all mixed in by color.

    ARGH!!! and the big question is: Why dig for that itty bitty piece when I have HUGE yardage enough to last me 5 lifetimes???

    You see why life makes me crazy?

  92. Corky Says:

    Oops, forgot to let you know my fav colors: right now, probably red and aqua. I am collecting to make a sofa quilt. I am also make an orange and teal sofa quilt. Thanks!

  93. Courteney Says:

    If I absolutely HAD to pick I would go with blue and orange… but they are all so beautiful! I love scraps!!

  94. mary Says:

    I love your scraps! That basket of green looks tempting, and I love red too.

  95. Tam Says:

    How delightful! Green and orange are definitely my current faves. We’re moving into a new house soon and I’m planning to fill the walls with mini-quilts.

  96. Wendy Says:

    well I can’t say they are my fav, but I am def short on greens and blues and need to boost those color sections! Yay for new spaces!

  97. Jeni Says:

    Ahhh, scraps. I don’t have enough! I love green and orange or green and red. Ok really, I like them all!

  98. Mary Ann Says:

    green and blue…what a great idea..this maybe my motivation…

  99. delia Says:

    I love pink and tan. Your scraps are so organized!

  100. Chandra Says:

    I love the purple and green. Good job getting organized! :)

  101. Katie B Says:

    Love green and brown! I’m impressed.

  102. Jennifer Says:

    Great work! I long for the day when I have enough scraps to be able to sort them. oh, the fun that could be had. Your purple stash caught my eye, which I think would be fun with some browns.

  103. audrey Says:

    I love reds and oranges, but I use a ton of browns and greens in my quilts, and I never seem to have enough of those! Nice assortment!

  104. Cindy A. Says:

    My favorite colors are blues and greens and oranges.

  105. mab Says:

    I guess it makes sense that my stash is most missing my favorite colors — I use them all up! Right now my faves are yellow and green. Thanks for the chance to enter!

  106. Kerri Kowal Says:

    As a fairly new quilter, I have not built up much of a scrap collection yet, but there are quite a few “scrappy” quilts I want to make! I would very much appreciate some of your scraps. My favorite colors are green and blue, but I could also really use some black/white stuff in my stash.

  107. Brittney Says:

    I need to reorganize my scraps! Sounds like a great weekend project. My favorites are probably green and yellow right now, but I’m also a sucker for purple and pink .. it’s so hard to choose when there are so many great colors out there!

  108. Chantal Says:

    I like the orange most, then I like the green scaps. It is sure inspiring looking at that lot!

  109. Jessica Says:

    yellow and pink right now…thanks for the giveaway! Love those colorful baskets!

  110. Julie Says:

    I love scraps! I’m super into green and orange right now! Thank you for a great giveaway!

  111. Mandy Says:

    Pinks and blues! Thank you for the chance!

  112. Angelina Says:

    Red & aqua! I need to organize my fabrics & scraps better. These look so nice organized by color!

  113. sandra Says:

    Green and red! Thanks for sharing!

  114. mkate Says:

    I see a lot of possibility in the greens!

  115. Janet Says:

    The purple and raspberry (as well as the blue) jumped right out at me! Thanks for the eye candy; I think that I should go and organize something as well…

  116. Lori Says:

    I have to say I love Orange and Blue!! Mostly because they are my college colors! YEAH SCRAPS!
    Good luck with the organizing and thanks for the giveaway!

  117. tracey p Says:

    This makes me think I should start sorting now since I’m still new to quilting and don’t have a lot of scraps. I love the green and purple scraps.

  118. jeanettesquiltin Says:

    I need to get in the sorting mood. I don’t have much fabric but still it’s not well organized. Orange and Greens are my favorite colors.

  119. Melanie Says:

    What fabulous scraps you have! I love pinks and greens. Have fun setting up your sewing space!

  120. caroline Says:

    Believe it or not I have NO purple scraps and that is a huge problem since I am working on a crazy patch, painbox quilt. I sure could use some. Thanks for the opportunity.

  121. Jennifer Says:

    Oooh so pretty. I like the purply and the orange ones. :)

  122. Amy (badskirt) Says:

    I’d just love to play in your scrap bins. So much fun. It must feel good to be organized! It’s always hard to pick a favourite. I’ll go with were I’m in short supply at the moment… bright rich pinks and any sorts of orange.

  123. Wendy D. P. Says:

    Oooh so pretty – I think just having all that variety and brightness around would be inspiring! My favorites are blue and green!

  124. LizzyM Says:

    Oooh. I’ve gotta get organized, too. Love how those scraps look sorted by color. How long did that take you? My two fave colors right now: aqua and lime.

  125. Heather Says:

    Nice! Looks great organized! My favorite colors are blue and green.

  126. Denise Says:

    Scraps are my favorite thing to usee! I am always purchasing scrap bags on Etsy, just to have a huge variety, so your sharing would be wonderful! I am collecting scraps in greens and purples right now.

  127. Hannah Says:

    ooh, fun! We just moved and are in the process of sorting and organizing our whole house, and one small section (yet to be tackled) is all the fabrics and scraps in the craft room! I’d love to have more to add to the chaos, though, and my favorite colors are definitely blue and green.

  128. Bethany Says:

    Right now I am liking blues and browns. I have fun sorting fabric! Thanks for the great blog.

  129. Cherie Says:

    Oh, definitely green & orange!! I’ve started a grandmothers flower garden with 3/4″ pieces and these kind of scraps are PREFECT! Must feel great to be organizing. Thanks for the chance.

  130. Nykhe Says:

    eek! i love scraps! i want to make a stamp quilt for our bed and i love orange and aqua…and gray and yellow…and…well all colors actually! thanks for the amazing blog and giveaway!

  131. Rachel Says:

    Purple and Blue!

  132. Ange Moore Says:

    Wow – you are so organised! And arranging by colour seems like a very sensible thing to do. I just love other people’s scraps – no matter what colour they are.

  133. Whitney Says:

    Okay… When I looked at the pre-sort colors I thought “how ingenious, the colors of the baskets are the color of the scraps” Now I’m confused, how did the green and blue scraps get in orange baskets? and the eggplant in yellow? Yes of course the scraps are yours and you can do what you wish with them, it may even assist in your creative process. As for me; and I am no way near this organized mind you; I would have to have the basket match the overall color of the scraps. Regardless of my opinion, good job! Way to start out in a new space on the right foot!!

  134. Alice R. Says:

    They are lovely, and you are generous! My favorite colors are red and pink, but for quilting I’m picking pink and orange to add some spark! My fabrics are a bit dull right now…

  135. Kate Says:

    Green and orange :)

  136. Marcia W. Says:

    Hmmm. Group One Greens with brown/neutrals =OR= Group Two Orangey/coral with aqua/blues. Thank you for the wonderful display of color and this giveaway. I lurk on your blog a lot, and this might be my first comment.

  137. Celine Says:

    Love scraps over here! Lovin pinks and aqua right now (and not necessarily together!!!) Thanks a bunch

  138. Leah H Says:

    How generous! Thanks for sharing with one of us. Blue and orange would hit the spot!

  139. Heather Says:

    Ohhh so sweet of you to share. Green and blue are my favorites!

  140. Kristy Says:

    I’m not usually a green person but for some reasons your basket of greens in appealing to me!

    I’m also making a big move soon and hope that the new (as yet unfound) house will have room for a dedicated craft room. I have lots of ideas about how I’d love to set it up and make it organized but I’m keen for ideas as well!

  141. Laurie Says:

    I love pink and blue! Good luck setting everything up – that’s quite a task – but so important!

  142. Erica Says:

    I would love to win some of your scraps! I would love some aqua and pink:)

  143. traceyjay Says:

    green and red… or red and pink… or orange and green…

    (send me whatever! They’re all gorgeous!) :)

  144. Adds Says:

    Super cute, I have all my tiny scraps colour sorted as well but in small storage tubs with lids. There kept on top of my fabric wall unit so I find I don’t use them as much as the ones I have put in a scrap tub on the floor. Might have to re-think my system. Fave colours green and orange here. Enjoy your new room!

  145. Karen Says:

    Orange and green rule in my sewing room. Love those colors and use them often. What a treat some scraps would be!!!

  146. Kara Says:

    So hot out, and I need to feel cool. Blue and purple… ahhhh…

  147. britt Says:

    Hmm… my two favorite colors would have to be yellow and green. I just found out an old friend of mine is expecting a baby boy, and would love to make a scrappy quilt to celebrate his arrival!

  148. rose Says:

    love the greens and neutrals (browns/blacks/greys/creams) (well, and i also love the blues and oranges… ok fine, i love all of them!) this is very inspiring – i’ve got overflowing clear bins filled with overflowing ziplock bags. and then when i do a new project, i have to dig through all of it to try to put anything away. this is so much smarter!

  149. Leah J Says:

    look at how awesome you are with your organization! Thanks for sharing scraps! I would love some red & orange! :)

  150. Jamie G Says:

    Well aren’t you cute! Green and Orange are my faves! Woo hoo!

  151. Gretchen Says:

    Your oranges and reds look lovely! I don’t know how you can bear to let go of such pretty goods, but I wouldn’t complain to be on the recipient end of such treasures….

  152. Victoria Says:

    Ha ha this is great! I love how you organized them by color. I love greens and blues, and have some ideas for scrappy quilts. Thanks for sharing!

  153. Miranda Says:

    Oo thanks for sharing! I’d have to say those pinks and greens are calling to me! Crossing my fingers :)

  154. Amber Says:

    Greens and pinks… quite fabulous!

  155. Amanda R. Says:

    How exciting! I think the red/pinkish group looks fun or the greens.
    Thank you.

  156. Erin Says:

    Orange! And Purple. Patchy potholders, perhaps? Love them!

  157. Amy Says:

    I love scraps. I prefer working with scraps over large pieces even! I’d honestly be happy with any of the colors. Thanks for the chance!

  158. Alison Marie Says:

    I know it’s all about the orange for you…..I’ve told you my childhood aversion to orange, what with Holly Hobbie’s orange haired friend bedroom decor and an orange-rust shag rug. So I guess it would have to be blue & green for me (I’d say purple but I am pretty sure you have no purple).

  159. Andi Says:

    Pink and red for me please!!!

  160. rebecca Says:

    I love greens and orange or greens and browns. I love to make scrap quilts so this is such a great idea. I hope you pick me!
    Rebecca O of Buffalo

  161. Raven Says:

    OOOOH… I LOVE scraps!! My favorite fabric colors are pink and orange! (and green, but I am only supposed to pick 2. :) )

  162. Mary on Lake Pulaski Says:

    Orange and turquoise are two of my favorites!

  163. PY Says:

    ps- i like orange & brown!!!

  218. Nancy Sue Says:

    You are so inspirational to organize my scraps and fabric. Am waiting for the cooler weather though, since it’s the top floor of the townhouse. Then in the fall, I’ll say, oh, it’s a bit chilly up there…. I am my own Goldilocks. Great idea for your giveaway. I LOVE browns and creams….colors of chocolate and a good cup of mellow joe!

  219. Nanna Says:

  233. Sammie Says:

    I’m currently working on my first quilt, a very scrappy string quilt made of all kinds of scavenged bits and pieces, and my workspace is covered with piles of scraps sorted by color. Even though they’re among my favorite colors, I’m low on greys/blacks and yellows right now, unfortunately!

  234. Briana Says:

    brown and green are particularly appealing to me today. Thanks for the giveaway!

  235. Summer Says:

    How generous of you! :) I love purple and red comes in second! :)

  236. Kaye Says:

    Once I took the plunge and sorted all my scraps and had them out where I could see them at all times, their usefulness went up by a thousand percent. I use them all the time now because I can see what I have. My favorites are green and blue, and they are what I have the most of.
