more ways I use scraps
These are blocks I'm making now using scraps of different sizes. I sew material on my leftover warm and natural batting. If you want a 12" square cut your batting at least 13" square. Lay pc. of material right side up on batting and place another pc. of material right side together and sew down one side. Flip open and add another pc. of material right side together sew and flip open. Continue this till you have batting covered even extending some material over edge of batting. Press then flip whole thing over and trim to 12" square. But if you want to add the herringbone stitch on each of your seams, cut a little more than a 12" square ,put on your stitches not going to the very edge of block because you will cut off some of the stitches when you square it up. These blocks are 8x11 squared up. I will put sashing between blocks and between rows I don't know yet how big I will make it
