My scrap idea...... Make bookmarks! I cut rows of 6 1/2'' blocks and was left with 2'' x 6 1/2'' scrap.
I was using a wavy blade in my rotary cutter so the edges were pretty. An idea was born as i saw the scrap was perfect for a bookmark. I put scrap batting between the 2 fabrics and top stitched all around. You can also quilt inside. Great way to practice your free-motion quilting or decorative stitches. I loved the look of the wavy edges, but straight edges will do, too. Oh yes!.... On some i added a ribbon to the top edge of the bookmark before edge stitching layers together.
Now you can mark your favorite quilt patterns in your books or magazines. Have fun!
