What to do with a mountain of fabric scraps?????


I am coming up on the 2 year anniversary of opening my Etsy shop.  Earlier this month, I made up my mind to do something with the growing volume of fabric scraps that I have hoarded accumulated over the months.

I did have them organized by color in bins.

I am a huge Pinterest fan and go there often for inspiration.  I found a blog post by Lori Holt that got me started - http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/2013/08/from-my-quilty-studiohow-i-save-my.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+BeeInMyBonnet+(Bee+In+My+Bonnet)

After reading through Lori's post, I started wading through my scrap piles and cutting strips of fabric.



I then started using the "Leaders and Enders" technique (also described in another post by Lori Holt - http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/2011/07/leaders-and-enders.html ) to sew my little scraps together.

I no time, I had a stack of pieced blocks that I used to make two fun quilted pillow covers.
