What do you do with your fabric scraps?
#31
You should do a scrappy and just leave the pieces as they are and start sewing them all together until you get enough for the size square you want and then cut, and start all over for the next square. They are fun and very pretty when finished as you will have lots of different fabrics/prints/colors/etc. in the quilt. :roll:

I have several bags full again...I use to give them away...this time I am going to cut them up in to 5 inch squares and make a scrap quilt for my brother. I am going to just make a simple quilt. 4 patches and them sash them. (I think). I also am thinking of making the backing with all of the scraps. A reversible quilt. I normally make my quilts with flannel backing but for his I am going to do the scrap backing.
