now about those teeny pieces of fabric. how small do you sew them and how do you do it? i must admit i pitch any ones under 1".
oops.
but anything 1" and up gets used.
I save crumbs that are at least 1/2" and I gather them all together. I just start sewing pairs, then the pairs to other pairs, or I might do it log cabin style until I have a 3" square. I'll take parts and sew to other parts with a slash between them or joining the 2 sections together. A slash is a long skinny piece used to join the crumbs. I'll post a close up for you to see how they are joined together. Pay no attention to color only that it is a different color from what you have.
