I have alot of strings and strips and they are piled in a big laundry sorting bin. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, and they are fun to dig through, but I'm thinking I need a better system! As I stated yesterday, I have worked on cutting these scraps into various sized usable pieces. And I am making progress! All of the strips shown here (on the cutting table) are going into my Pineapple blossum quilt! All are cut from the scraps and strips I have in the bin, except the light squares, alot of these come from fat quarters and left over strips in my stash. Using up scraps...gotta love that! Thanks for the inspiration Bonnie Hunter!!!

Great way of utilizing your scraps. Can't wait to see your finished quilt.
I'm a big fan of Bonnie's system too! A Bonnie pineapple is in my future too ... have been collecting the light squares for a while and I'll get to making it one day :)
I'd be interested to see how you sort them. I've got a bunch that are kind of sorted by size of strip, but I kind of want to sort by lights and darks too.
Great idea. I would like to try my hand at a pineapple quilt - lots of scraps and not so scrappies to use up... lol lol
Can you direct me to Bonnie's site, please?
