I love my life!
I definitely will try this one. It's nice. My scraps aren't so dramatic, but I like the angles.Originally Posted by Onebyone

I don't know if someone has already mentioned Liz Katsuro's website (http://jellyrollfabrics.com/). She has even written a free jelly roll pattern book. I found her one day on the internet.
I don't know if anyone already suggested this bit I used up a ton of my scraps & strips by making a wreath. Just take one of those wire frame wreath forms that Michaels, JoAnn, Hobby Lobby sells. Cut your strips into 6 or 7 inch pieces. Then tie each piece onto the frame, using about 4 yards to finish each wreath. Just a single tie no need to be fancyAs the fabric strips fill the frame the wreath gets nice & fluffy & quite pretty. Best of all you feel so good about using up your scraps.

The only place that housework comes before quilting is in the dictionary.
Quiltville.com has a pattern called Scrappy Trips that uses 2.5" strips. Goes together fast, check it out.
I'm making a big ole beach blanket out of my 2.5 inch strips and 2.5 inch squares. No pattern. It's my go-to project when I just want to sew, not think! I have no idea how big it will be. But the back will also be squares and strips. I know when I'm laying on the beach, the memories of what those scraps were used for will be pleasant.
Here are some ideas...
