I took a large box of scraps to SDiego with me to turn into Salvation Army for their fabric resale project - they sell them to manufacture things like carpet padding. But the drop-off station was closed by the time i got there, so I passed them off to a SDiego friend who will turn them in for me. I did look to see what was in the box and it was easier to part with them when I discovered that some were from at least forty years ago. Some poly, some rayon, but mostly cottons. I closed the lid and let them go to a good cause!
I have more boxes, baskets, bags, and Baggies full of scraps and will continue making backgrounds with no idea what will go on the backgrounds. The latest one I used scraps other than the squaring up pieces which make just strips. These scraps were in a bag together with some light flowery fabrics. I vaguely recall they were left over from a desert scene some time in years gone by.
Here are the scraps arranged on a backing with a layer of WonderUnder. The white dots are white glass headed pins which just blend in on the top half. The pins hold the pieces to the thick cardboard so I can move the piece to the ironing area where I fuse everything in place.
