I've been cutting my scraps into usable pieces: mainly 2 1/2 inch strips. I've been casing the internet looking for 'jelly roll' quilts. There are lots of fun ones out there for 2 1/2 inch strips! So far I have 3 quilts cut out and am working on another. Now to sew them together!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833251504109166543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-30262935756969812442017-06-29T10:40:34.202-05:002017-06-29T10:40:34.202-05:00I've started a pile of scraps that will be tur...I've started a pile of scraps that will be turned into a dog bed...I don't know...just something different I guess....as that monster is always lurking isn't he!Val's Quilting Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09451000559295763123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-47499649215932916522017-06-29T09:08:21.118-05:002017-06-29T09:08:21.118-05:00I love this story; And yes, it seems my scraps k...I love this story; And yes, it seems my scraps keep growing too !!!<br /><br />LOVE THE BACKING !!!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17650943540040849190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-2466813600088353002017-06-29T05:21:57.922-05:002017-06-29T05:21:57.922-05:00An all too often experience at this end too.....ar...An all too often experience at this end too.....aren't we fortunate to have this problem!!The Inside Storihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984299652568523595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-49499230498575057172017-06-29T02:52:56.515-05:002017-06-29T02:52:56.515-05:00I am having the same problem!
