They make darling baby quilts and are practically free, besides using up my smaller scraps and they pile up rather quickly if you are doing lots of sewing. Sort of a quick way to keep charity quilts in progress while making something of your
own.
Maybe I will do somthing like that when I'm down to a manageable amount of scraps. Thanks for the tip.
