Sooooooo much waste.... need ideas (with pics)
#71
I used all or most of my left over Bali in Rhonda's Boston Squares, made a mouse pad, coasters, table runner. I have at least one fabric in almost every quilt I've made. And I also plan to make a scrappy quilt.

I totally get what you're saying about the waste, but after a few times of getting caught short I temper my thinking more.
Just a thought, did the pattern have other larger sizes that may account for the leftovers?

They are great looking, all ready cut and can be used in another quilt. I would put them in a quart size baggy and mark how wide and how long they are. At some point these will comin in very handy in another project.

Hope you can incorporate them.
