    Default ....and once again scraps without end...

    My never ending story: scraps scraps and more scraps! I use a big jar where I gather all the the little scraps: "Schnipsel" called over here!
    And from time to time I try to make new fabric out of these itsy bitsy little fabric pieces! It is fun, to sew them together, and I think it is very amazing how good all these tiny scraps fit together!
    Some pictures attached showing how I manage my scraps!

    That's such a creative way to use up scraps.

    I love how you created the pillow from your scraps...a walk down memory lane from your projects. Thx for sharing great photos

    I love your scrap projects!
    I recently had some 2.5 inch scraps and decided to make a quilt with them. I didn't think it was anything amazing but when I showed my youngest son the progress he loved it and asked if he could have it. I was thrilled and yesterday got a text from him that he and his wife got it and slept with it that night. That made me so happy! I usually don't keep scraps but you have all gotten me to rethink them.
