OK. .. just how small does a scrap have to be before it is to little to keep? How small do you save? I recently helped a friend of mine start her first quilt. It was a Turning 20, and after cutting it out ( OH what a fast quilt to cut out ! ) there were these very tempting scraps left. . .and she didn't want them !
Well I did ! I had been having this little project floating around in my head for awhile. .
so time to cut them up some more. . . and put 'em back together. .. . . . .
is this gonna be worth the effort? these squares aren't very big. . .but they are pretty fun to string together. . . I really like looking at them. . .ok, bordering on the compulsive here. . . . . .
time to put them together with some narrow, strips. . . . . .and now we are almost getting somewhere. . . .
Don't you just love these Kansas Troubles fabrics ( at least I think most of them are K.T.) I am also doing my LQS BOM out of Kansas Troubles, so I look forward to having LOTSA KT scraps. .
anyway. .. . almost done,
and HERE it is !
and what does it do ?
Why, all these little scraps grew into a SCRAP BAG to hold all the littler scraps and threads !
Wait ! On second thought, maybe that little red print that I am putting into the scrap bag is too big to go there yet ! or is that TOO obsessive ?
FULL CREDIT for this little project goes to another blogger, and as soon as I find the post I would like to GIVE her full credit for her great tutorial, and a link. It was one that I found when I first started reading blogs and really didn't know what I was doing yet, so couldn't save it or anything. If any of you know where this tutorial came from, or if it is yours, please let me know and I will post proper credit, and a BIG THANK YOU ! It is a perfect scrap bag for my DSM and I would like to make another ( larger one ! ) for my longarm machine.
