I pulled out a few my 10.5 batiks from the monthly swaps that ive accumulated since 2010, and decided to make a tumbler quilt.. so for the last two nights i was cutting large tumblers with my GO... BUT.....
[ATTACH=CONFIG]467689[/ATTACH] i realized that if i use my GO triangle die to cut here...... [ATTACH=CONFIG]467690[/ATTACH] and another triangle cut here.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]467692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]467691[/ATTACH] and sliced these sections... [ATTACH=CONFIG]467693[/ATTACH]. This is what i end up with.. tumblers, triangles for another quilt, 3.5x5 inch chunks for almost anything, strips for the birds to make spring nests, and triangle wedges... and guess what !! [ATTACH=CONFIG]467695[/ATTACH] I can even match the 'triangles wedges' to make lil blocks !!! ... Nothing went into the trash ! I utilized every lit bit... and THATS the hoarder in me.. [ATTACH=CONFIG]467694[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking.. |
Wow! You really are recycling to the 9th! Nice job!

I am with you on being a hoarder of scraps. I even save those thin strips to wrap around cloths line rope to make bowls, baskets & hot pads out of. I just hate wasting anything concerning fabric. I also use the small triangles that I cut off a block & put two together & use them as starters & enders while constructing other blocks. All that thread that would have been cut off & tossed is now being used. You would be surprised how much thread is really wasted by not doing this. Once you get a pile of these you can keep using them till you get a block made out if them & you can come up with so many different blocks with them & make your own creation.

This is going to be a delicious scrappy! Looks like a tossed salad!:D
