How much fun! Would be good to do with the little scraps of fabric from the quilt you are working on--then the pieced border would be of the same group without out all that extra cutting....hmmmm....

I knew there was a reason I had saved several rolls of calculator papers . . .

This is an absolutely brilliant idea. Thank you so much, I hate throwing any fabric away.

That tute is just exactly it. THEN.....save all the tiny scraps from that and use them as stuffing for a pin cushion or...whatever! NO WASTE!
Re: This is what i do with all the little pieces of scraps I can't throw away
I LOVE that idea!! I just threw some little pieces away tonight because I didn't think there was anything I could do with them. Knowing me, I will end up digging them back out of the trash. LOL

What a super idea. I don't have adding tape but could use those strips of paper left over from paper piecing prints.

This is a fantastic idea and they're getting rid of a bunch of it at work. These will make great little borders or scrappy quilt blocks!

Megan,
I must have several yards already using this method; I am so scrap happy that I don't want to waste any. I generally save up a plastic grocery bag and then spend some time sewing them all together.
What doesn't go into the adding machine rolls, I foundation stitch crazy quilt style on foundation (telephone book pages or light weight fabric) and then if it is too small, I throw it in a bag to make pillows for the local animals shelter. Waste not, want not!

I have saved small pieces that I knew I could sew and I have been trashing the rest. How will I sleep tonight!!?? I could have used your example and Blondie's example, for pillow stuffing. You can bet I will be saving it up now!
Re: This is what i do with all the little pieces of scraps I can't throw away
Super idea! Love these kinds of quilts because you can look at it and see everything you have made in the past year or so all in one scrappy awesome project!
