For something so small like scraps, storing them can actually be a big challenge if you don't have a method to organize them. And it's not a one-size-fits-all system. Scrap storage is very personal to the type of quilts you make, the space you have, and how you choose fabric. We share some basics of how to store scraps, so you can develop a system that works for you. We also chat with Marija Vujcic of Mara Quilt Designs about finding community through quilting, as well as her experience starting a quilting business.
