Last night I got another box sewn. I'm loving the way these fit into my drawers...I can get three of them per drawer if I need to. This will be so easy to take out of drawer and use them as I work on specific projects. Another half yard out the door, plus the Peltex bits that have been taking up space. I have enough of the stiff stuff to make 2 more boxes then plan on trying Decor bond on both pieces for a product comparison.

I use those donated little scraps all the time. I just made three items for a fundraiser. The little heart one no bigger than a sheet of paper was made from French General fabrics and brought in over $200 for my Grands school.

Connie I like your figuring of yardage from scraps (FYI folks, there are 1440 sq inches in a yard of 40" wide fabric) Using that method, the little heart quilt sent an eighth of a yard out the door. The table runner 2/3 and the wall hanging another 2/3 yard. All in all almost a yard and a half a fabric. These 3 little items brought in $500+ for the school...not a bad return on my investment and time. I do have photos and at some time will get them downloaded.

Meanwhile...use it up!
