Is your stash starting to expand and invading other areas than your sewing studio? Are your bins muffin topped and about to explode at any minute? Do you feel overwhelmed? Not sure how to use it or what to do with it, and almost to the point of giving it away? I feel that way too, at times!
Not to worry! I believe I have a cure for this common ailment. Let’s bust our scraps, especially those little pieces that seem to multiply when your back is turned.
Each Thursday I will find some patterns that will deal with the little pieces and even some of the larger and odd pieces that we all tend to accumulate.
Spring is in the air and our flowers are blooming, Here are some fun flower patterns!
This is from Shabby Fabrics and is part of a series of table runners and is called Simply Sweet Table Runners. This the fourth one in the series and is for Mother’s Day.

Our second one is string pieced but what a fun way to use up those scraps. This is from My Sewing Room, and she uses the strings that she makes and cuts them into petals to make a pretty tulip quilt.
