A lot of friends are using the wintertime to clean house or organize, like me. One thing I get asked a lot is what can you do with small pieces of scrap fabrics? Most people throw them away but I save them. You'd be surprised how easily a quilt can be made from small scraps of fabric. This blue 9 patch is really a set of 2 throw sized quilts and 2 pillows. The key is to fill in with even more scraps. That is what our quilters in the past used to do. Fabric is now almost $10 a yard. Might as well use what we have and make the most from it. The nice thing is that these scrappy quilts are a great to give warmth to anyone in need.
