The scrap basket now looks like this. The fabrics on the top are different as I've done a lot of digging
while making the blocks. Here is what it looked like when I started. Hmmm . . . doesn't really look any emptier, does it?

Dealing with the scrap basket a couple days late
After finishing the basket blocks yesterday, I attacked the scrap basket. I took out the rest of the fabric pieces that I'd ironed several weeks ago, and cut them into pieces for more shoo fly blocks. Here you see the results. In the upper right corner you can also see triangles and rectangles of white - the rest of what I need for 30's basket blocks. I cut them now so I could re-wrap the bolt of white fabric and put it back on top of the fabric shelves where it belongs.
I've no idea how many shoo fly blocks this will make. Anything left over will get tucked into the appropriate scrap boxes. A full box of scrappy triangle squares is so much fun to play with!
