Do you find that that you have lots of bits and pieces left over after a project? I always end up with strips of quilted bits, bits of stuffing, and lots of left over fabrics. They all look wonderful so I never want to throw them out.
When I do a scrapbook page I use all the left overs for making cards with or saving for the next page. It never seems that easy with material yet it can be. The last 2 Mondays I have shown you two ways to use left overs. One was to make little patchwork blocks and the other to make a quiltlet a day to machine quilt on. What other ways can we use little bits of fabric and left overs?

- Make new fabric from little bits and pieces.
- Mini quilts
- To applique onto larger material
- To crazy quilt into larger fabric that could be over dyed or printed onto or appliqued onto
- To gift to children to use for their many artistic projects.
- Collect all like coloured bits and pieces ad put into jars for future projects
- Cut into snippets and iron onto vlisofix for backgrounds for quilts
- To catch into pockets on a cushion or another project
Over the next few weeks I will go into more details on how left overs Can be used.
