I designed a pattern on EQ8 and only bought what EQ8 recommended plus the yardage for binding. I'm pleased to report that I had very little scrap left, which I cut up into usable sizes. That was a nice feeling and one I hope to be mindful of in the future. Lesson learned....
Nicely done! I hope you learned your lesson!
sounds like one we could all learn.

Ive been taking some scrap 5" squares and making Lemoyne blocks using MSQ new tutorial. Each block takes 30 min but I think the end will be lovely and scrappy.
