Scrap Management Part 2!

Last time I blogged I touched on what to do with the teeny tiny bits of fabric.  Today I will show you what I do with pieces which are slightly larger than what I use for the hexagons.  I have a tumbler template which I use to cut out shapes.  I trace the shape onto the fabric and then cut them out.  This is good mindless work to do when I am skypeing with my college kids and listening to their wonderful stories.  Here is a recent addition to the pile.

 Here is a bag full of tumbler shapes waiting to be put into rows and added to the quilt in progress.   On an irregular piece of fabric I can often get a tumbler and a hexagon shape out of it.  If it is just too small for the tumbler I know a hexagon paper will fit.

 Look at how colorful and lovely it is.  Totally scrappy though.  I stick my hand in the bag, pull out a tumbler and stitch it down.

Here is the other side of the quilt.  So much fun.  I really have a good time with my scrap projects too.  Next time I will show you another shape which I use.  Until then, have a great day and I hope it is sew productive.
