Not too recently, I had my blue scrap bin out. After sorting out some pieces I wanted, I realized the bin was still so stuffed and overflowing, I could not slide it back into its home.
It has sat in the middle of my sewing room floor waiting for me to do something about it.
After much thinking, I finally came up with an idea. Most of my darker blue scraps are wider strings. I also have a lot of dark blue leftover bindings already cut at 2.5" wide. So, I decided to cut them to 8.5" lengths and use some 1.5" red, orange and gold squares to create some flip corners on the ends. These small squares will also help me use up a lot of the tiny scraps in my warm color bins.
Two problems addressed.
Right now, my plan is to put them together like this. I need to spend some time pulling and cutting the necessary scraps but I think this is a good start.
I really didn't want to start a new project until next year but you can't control when inspiration strikes!
