More Fun with Scraps and Orphans

We all have scraps and orphan blocks in our stash - unless you give/throw them away.  I have given away scraps, but I can't find it in my heart to throw them away.  So I use them for fun and therapeutic sewing. 

Today I started for a "15 minute" play time. That quickly expanded into an hour - and later another 30 to 60 minutes of play.  

I took two pieces that were just kind of square and boring.  I laid them one on top of the other (both right sides up.)  Taking the rotary cutter in hand, they were sliced with a curvy line.  Then, the piece from the top was sewn to the piece from the bottom, and vice-versa.  Then I sewed them together into one piece. 

    That was FUN! 

Next I took some off-cut corners and added them to opposite sides of an existing block 

That block was randomly pieced too. 

Then I found a larger scrap that got cut into two more triangles for the 

other sides.  

It doesn't look square but it is. 

Finally I took a large orphan block and cut it wonky.  

Then I used it, the off cuts and some other fabric and created

This long strip of "pieced fabric."

It is far more interesting now than it was when I started with it. 

I will keep on playing until the muse says "make these into a _____!" 

Until Next Time,
