So, my question is, what's a good pattern for large scraps?
I am thinking of maybe ordering the large Tumbler Template from MSQC, I have the one for 5" squares and the mini one, so could do something with the 3 of them?
Pulled a few fabrics out and am going to make some tote bags and library bags for some great nieces. Forgot I even had some of these fabrics.....cute stuff!
Do have some for my string quilt, which I expect to be an on going project for a long time. Will be a challenge for me as I am not too good at random.....but trying to embrace my randomness! LOL
How about large 9" or 12 " squares.... for a Quilt... a group of us got together and made one for my boss with 10" squares- a big throw for the couch... I picked flowered fabrics for most of the Squares and it turned out very nice...
