I have kept a bin loaded with all the fabrics I used for my maple leaf runners. There was parts, strips and chunks in there, some leftover from when I did paper pieced leaf blocks. It was getting to be so messy, so Saturday afternoon I did something about that. I processed a lot of scraps into 2.5" squares.
If it was a WOF x 2.5" strip I didn't cut it up, that way I can make strip sets and then cut. My bin looks much neater now! Squares are in one bag and leaf parts in another bag. The strips and sashings are in one pile. There are a few chunks I didn't process yet, I'll do that as needed.
Then I got to making the borders for these two runners that I pieced on Friday. All ready for quilting soon as I am out of these. I love using up some scraps in the process!
fall is coming quickly at your house so far as quilts go
ReplyDeleteGreat job processing those scraps! Those leaf runners are just gorgeous in those colors, and with the scrappy borders. Wow!
