I did some gradual cutting throughout the month but I’ve not really tackled a lot of things I need to do. I have some bags of scraps that need my attention because I spent a bit of time this past week going back through several months of strips that I hadn’t sorted into the colors yet and discovering quite a few things that probably should be cut up into strips. I did do the sorting and divvied up the pinks, reds, blues, greens, etc. of the 2.5” strips. I am not doing that with my 1.5” or 2” strips, however.

But I did cut up some things several times. Not a lot. But a bit.

Here is the what I did do.

2.5” - 1.01 lb. (If I can, I have been focusing on cutting into this size)

2” - 0.14 lb (not very much!)

1.5” - 0.26 lb. (not much)

Here are the totals for the year to date.

And here are my totals for the entire project so far.

Sometimes I grow weary of doing this project, but I know it has value. I have been sending some of my scraps to other people who can use them as I have so many of these strips. I am currently working on several 2.5” strips and squares scrappy projects, so I am trying.

Let me share with you 12 of my 2” strips quilts. These are on the free patterns page. These were designed and made because of this project.
