Continue until I have 8 patches, (four four patches) all sewed together, Press and then combine them with machine embroidery blocks of baby faces, Sunbonnet Sues, or Overall Freds. 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.
