What ELSE Do You Use Your Scraps For?
Scrappy quilts, binding, pet beds, pot holders, mug rugs...what else do you use your scraps for? I have 3 big boxes of them and I need ideas. Thanks.

I cut them in strips and use them when I wrap gifts or on gift bags to make a bow/ribbon.

I use the 100% cotton ones as mulch in my perennial beds.
|
zipper pouches, coasters, pin cushions, needle cases, tote bags, heat/cold packs, applique pieces, book marks,….
|
If you crochet or knit, how about rag rug? Stitch cotton together with tulle for dish cloths.
|
I use a few green ones to tie up the hollyhocks to their stakes :D And when I get the scrap tubs overflowing I share them with anyone else who wants them, it's hard to keep up with the scraps no matter how many scrappy quilts you make.

For paper piecing
|
crazy quilts

Watch the u-tube video that Jenny has on making an easy pet bed.
