Score!!

 I have already completed one goal in my declutter challenge: the bits and pieces of my batting, either sewn into 12" or 15" squares for art quilting, or chopped up into little bits to stuff a pillowcase which will go to the animal hospital as a pet bed.

My next goal is use to use up the remaining bits and pieces of quilting scraps.  So far I have used the strings to make these 7" squares:

 

I went through my scrap pile and ironed all of the strings, cutting them down to widths as wide as the strings would allow, but not more than 2" wide.

Since I have exhausted my longer strips (I need 10" strips for the centres of my 7" squares),I am now sewing the shorter strips together to make "piano keys", also totally scrappy from what I have.

 

I will also sort the cut-offs of the 7" squares to sew the smaller bits together to make these 2" squares, to go with other 2" whole squares I have already made. 

 

I like putting them together.  It's like a jigsaw puzzle.

And why Score?  A score is 20 years and I am making a quilt from over 20 years of quilting.
