I generally start by sewing random pieces together and those random pieces together. I put a piece of backing on the floor (usually 1.5 yards), lay any orphan blocks on the backing, and go from there filling in the holes. It's not as fast as making say 10" blocks, but I find it more satisfying. Those 10" blocks are easier to pick up and put away than my random hot mess though!

You did an amazing job putting them to use. You've made me think a lot about saving scraps with intention. I have begun cutting mine in specific sizes with a snowball quilt in mind, as well as the ones I was die cutting before. A great giveaway and you will have some very happy winners!

(maybe I should say you grassed your greens or leafed them or ... stop while I'm ahead.) I decided I would sell some of my leftovers at my upcoming guild show. I've got 5 or 6 gallon ziplocks ready to pass on for ridiculously low prices. I want these things GONE! Cause I still have scrap fabrics all over the place. Your quilt tops look great.

When someone clicks on your link, it will take them to the IG page on the computer. Sorry I had to post this here, but you are a no-reply blogger!!
