Every quilt I make begins with rotary cutting the basic shapes I will use from the fabric -- this, in turn, results in an unbelievable amount of scrap! :)
As I mentioned earlier, math is (unfortunately) the foundation of quilting -- at least if you plan on following any sort of pattern -- as my math improves, the amount of scrap I have to deal with will inevitably get smaller....till then, I'm just going to have to put up with all this scrap.
OK, ok, enough of the play on words :) (it was fun though, wasn't it!?)
On a slightly different note, I have become a coffee drinker... which really is not as crazy of a subject change as you might think, because, my new found coffee habit has given me the energy to get through a few 'scrappy' days :) We have a Keurig (which has been sitting on our counter collecting dust for the last 3 yrs). It has made drinking coffee that much more enjoyable -- you're probably wondering why I just now started drinking coffee? Well, I have had a serious Diet Coke/Coke....let's just call it...addiction since high school (drinking upwards of 3-4 cokes a day for over 10 years!). About 3 months ago, I finally decided enough was enough and that it was time for me to kick the chemical concoction. BUT, I knew I would not be able to survive my day without caffeine....so, I turned to coffee. I now enjoy a cup in the morning and a cup right before the kids wake up from their afternoon naps (need a recharge!). I find my coffee most enjoyable with a couple shots of Hazelnut creamer -- mmmmmm.
