Would you even bother?

Obviously I fussy cut flowers out of this fabric and now I'm left with this...

and silly me, not wanting to waste fabric, I'm thinking I can cut it further and use it in a scrap quilt but hmmn, what a pain in the you know what. I don't think there is an easy way. What would you do? How would you attempt to cut it? Or seriously, would you even bother?

And I'll try to get a pic of one of the quilts that came from this mess if it will work...

oh my gosh, what a sweet little quilt!

I would probably cut some strings from that piece of swiss cheese ;-)

I would take the larger square template that you used & just cut as many of those size squares as you can. Might only be a few, but those little squares sure add up.
Pretty quilt!

That is a very pretty quilt. There seems to be a lot of scrap fabric left .... :) if you wish you can cut that fabric up into lumber yard cuts, ....... 2 X 2, 2 X 4, 4 X 4, etc. or just cut it into useable hunks.

Might be time to throw that one out. would take a lot of time to cut it into something usable.

I save everything so I would cut out all that I could. I do this in the evenings when listening to tv. love the quilt

Pretty flower quilt! I would use the square and cut as many as you can, making sure they were on the straight of grain.

It looks like that piece of fabric did its job and gave you everything it had to give.

I think it might be difficult to salvage what's left, even for a scrap quilt, especially if you needed patches that are cut on grain. You have a lovely quilt; don't give the leftover hunk another thought.

Seems like you could get some strips for a string quilt from the leftover piece--but it is a little hard to tell the dimensions of the leftover piece.

I would cut out the salvageable sections which I see are many. I toss the smaller unusable scrapes into a bag and donate them to a lady who makes bedding for the local shelter. Funny, my cleaning lady had them tied up ready to toss in the trash. I stopped her just in time.
