Of course I wasn't nearly as organized as you, so I didn't have pre cut pieces. Some were in random cut strips and some were just scraps. I sewed for 3 hours last night while watching TV, which was a first. I don't have a TV in my sewing room at the moment, so I put my machine on my coffee table.HollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-3894921260447540022010-10-04T11:47:04.026-05:002010-10-04T11:47:04.026-05:0048 comments !

I use whatever I can find there to make paper pieced small projects, and the too small pieces are going to be fill for some floor pillows I want for my livingroom.

First of a big part of the history of quilting is one of utility -- make do, use it up, wear it out.<br /><br />But as the Queen of Crumb quilts, Bonnie Hunter reminds us the scraps (even the smallest ones) cost the same per yard as the off-the-bolt fabric. To throw them away if they are still useful is to throw away real money.<br /><br />And thanks for the reminder to add the finishing up of my own crumb quilt on my work list for next month.....Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-91794263157417523242010-10-02T10:49:11.024-05:002010-10-02T10:49:11.024-05:00No no!
