More progress

I picked this border

To me it pulled all the colors in the squares

Number one the blue was too bright

Number 2 was pretty but my squares were off so i needed a distraction instead of a pretty frame

So i chose number 3

Now to find a back and quilt er up

See a pattern here? Yeah. Find a back fabric

I have come to the concluaion that i need to buy a bolt of a neutral kinda fabric for backs 

What???? An excuse to buy fabric you say???

Anywho.....

This is just one little project you can make out of 2.5 squares

I like sewing them pedal to the metal in twosies

Then making something

Like this 

Or like Dunkins quilt by bordering each 4 patch

Or using a 4 patch to start a log 

Cabin

Or combining with hst 

The possibilities are endless

And the playing is fun

So many say why do you cut your fabrics into the squares?

I say so i will use them

But what if you dont need that size for your project?

I am cutting fat quarter size and less.not yardage

The scrap bins are to help me stay a little organized 

And when cut already i am ready to play

I pick the bin thats the fullest and play in there

I have 3 inch, 2.5, 2, 1.5 

1.5 is the smallest i go

I have gone 5 and 10 but found i mostly am cutting them smaller

How do you tame your scraps?
