Scrapbins are full

I have two baskets that I put scraps in. Couldn't get any more in them, thought it was time to figure out what to do with some of the scraps. First I started to sort out the pieces, and put them in plasticbags. Strips will be used in log cabin quilts, odd bits for applique or EPP. Triangles were also put in a bag. 


Started sewing HST of the triangles. Squared them up to a 2" size.


Then sewed them in to rows with ten square in each row.


Then adding row by row untill I was happy with the size.


Added a green fabric for borders on each side and a pink one at top and bottom borders. 
The top is now ca. 21,5" wide and 25,5" long. It is put in the basket with other tops ready for quilting.
Now I am happy to say that the bag with triangles is almost empty.
 



Happy Quilting

What a great idea! I hardly ever save my random triangles. Can see that I'm going to have to rethink that! Your little quilt is a perfect save for those leftover triangles.:)

There is so much creative energy in usnig scraps. Probably beacause what ever you make is a lot more random than what the maine part of the fabric was used for...

I really love your little quilt!
The colours makes me happy, and I instantly want to dive into my own scrap basket ♥

Have a great day!
