Scrappy Quilters, do you do this, too?
When I am sewing, I take odd bits of fabric from my scrap basket
by my machine and and sew them together to make a usable piece.
For the temperature quilt Pine Tree blocks, I get these triangle
scraps I do not like to toss them in the trash.
So I use them as leaders and enders while I sew.
I can cut these down to the 2" by 1.5" pieces
that I need for the trunks of my trees.
Adding some Old Rose to my scrappy tree quilt.
It reached 49 degrees F today, barely missing the predicted 60 mark.
There is a winter snow storm in the forecast for next week
and temperatures dropping well below freezing again.
Sewed two more tree trunks pieced from scraps.
I figure it is a scrappy quilt anyway, so why not use all my scraps.
I do not mind the slightly off look and extra seams.
Do you do this, too?
