I grabbed my hefty bag of scraps, bits 'n pieces and started sewing them together. I figured I could use up ALL of my scraps. HA! I don't think I even made a dent in the scrap pile!
I did not use any paper foundation for the blocks; however, I had some adding machine tape laying around and used it to sew strips for the border. That was a huge help when it came time to trimming since I didn't have to worry about measuring! The adding machine tape was already 2-inches. Next time I'd like to use 3-inch adding machine tape.
I used my Hanging Gardens pattern (from Cozy Quilt Designs) for the layout. I had to do some math (ouch) for the setting triangles since my scrappy blocks were smaller than the pattern.
Making scrappy bits 'n pieces blocks is definitely fun, no-brainer sewing.
