I have a lot of trimmings like that due to the amount of paper piecing I do. I save them in a ziploc bag and am going to use my current batch to stuff a draftdodger.

You know, putting them in a pretty clear jar or vase would look very good! Nice decoration for a sewing room!

Pics of different layouts -- what do you think?

Ok ladies, Here are three different layouts. Are there any others you can think of?

What do you think looks best or what more could I do to get the most out of these colors. I really want to bring out the 'cathedral' window look of these colors.

I'm open to all suggestions.

Hi Sue -- I'm working on the Jellyfish art quilt today...still trying to figure out how to for the top of the body and stuff the body so it looks soft and fluid yet it has the 'body' it needs to be hand stitched onto the quilt and keep it's shape.

I will ad pics as it develops.

Your colors are pretty and the little pile of thin pieces is really cute, looks flower like. Don't know what to do with them but I understand your reluctance to toss them!
