I had some small scrap pieces of fabric with cats and other animals so I cut them out in different angles between 4-6 edges, then I got my tiny scraps anything that was long enough to sew on a straight edge then another piece sewn on to that piece plus the next angle making sure to keep straight edges log cabin style but useing odd shaped scraps, when they are big enought I then trimmed them to 5 inch squares I hope this is a clear as mud.
