Go ahead and try one or two. You'll see how fast you can fly through a whole bunch of them. I use my large scraps and fold them over and just cut two tumblers at a time because I like a scrappy look to my quilts. It helps reduce the scrap pile! Of course you DO end up with smaller scraps, sigh ....
I make the very simplest quilt with them. No sashing, just one simple border and the binding, then tie or you could handquilt. With the handquilting I would do a primitive style using perle cotton. Yum-yum. Beautiful!
