Thank you for all your great suggestions.

When I am trying a new bag or purse pattern, especially one that has some complexities to it I use muslin for a practice one. The finished test bag gets used for travel, for toiletries, mobile phone/ iPad cords, jewelry, etc.

I cut them into squares for the foundation of string blocks. For the strings I cut leftover fabrics from projects into 2 1/2" strips. This way I use up leftover pieces of muslin and leftover from projects.

Sorry, double posting. I must be a little more patient when I press the Send button and it doesn't Send immediately.

AKA Pillowcase method. You lay the batting, backing & top down, sew almost all the way around, leaving about an 18" space. Then turn it. Often these quilts are then tied.

I use them in my scrappy quilts when I need a light fabric.

ditto for me..when I have left overs, I have a set size I use for string blocks. Sure saves me time when I need to just sit and do some mindless sewing! I have all my strings and the precut muslin ready to go in a container.

I use it for string piecing foundation.

Here's an easy potholder idea you could use muslin on. You could replace the leaves with any design you like.

If they are good quality muslin, I use them constantly in piecing. I buy Moda minibolts.
