Very pretty use of those 1/2 yds. they always come in handy. Sue

Bargellos and Log Cabins! I'm a fan of both, and they use a few strips of a lot of fabrics!
|
A good scrappy will use up some of that. How about a nice braid or a Boxed Squares pattern?
|
I seem to use lots of half yard cuts-just the right amount for 3-4 blocks. The last one I made with eight 1/2 yard cuts was whispering lace in the book called Modern Neutrals by Amy Ellis.

I have a book I love with quick pretty and easy quilts for when you need one in a hurry...book is called 6 halves make a whole, using.....you guessed it, 6 half yard cuts!! I've made several quilts quickly for gifts using this book!!
|
Check out the book "Six halves make a whole lot more". I believe there are several in the series.

Marcy J.; visit Nancy Zeiman's blog she has a video with a guest where they used large blocks to great quilts forgot the name of the video; but it is on her blog. Hope this helps -Vontina (wbfrog)

Cut them into strips and then you can use jelly roll patterns!
|
Check out the Take 5 pattern. It has 2 sizes, 1 of which uses 5 - 1/2 yd pcs. for the body of the 48 x 60 quilt.
Good size for baby or kid. |
I store mine in clear totes and use them in small projects....
