I save all the little tiny ends, scraps, snips and tiny trims of batting & put them into this big plastic bag.
When the bag is overflowing, like it is now, I make pet beds out of fleece or an old pillow case, stuff it with these scraps & donate it to the Animal Shelter. They are in constant need for beds for the pets awaiting adoption. They are fully washable and dryable and my 3 cats love 'em!
What do you do with your tiny bits, trimmed edges, too small scraps & selveges??
My box for the larger size scraps is over-flowing too, so it's time to work on some scrappy, crazy pieced quilt blocks using the string quilt method.
Here's some other stuff I've been working on too; cutting, cutting, cutting squares -- 30's Reproduction Prints...my favorite of all favorites.
I just listed these quilt squares in my etsy store:
tee hee you need to get busy!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea for the dog beds for the animal shelter.
Love 30's prints too!
I guess if you have to fall into something, the fabric scrap bag is the place to go! Love all your cut up squares. I did that years ago with all the leftover fabric from sewing clothing for my daughter and made a huge quilt from them. It's still fun to look at it and remember what little outfit or special occasion dress or nightgown each piece was from.
