Is your stash starting to expand and invading other areas than your sewing studio? Are your muffin bins 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.  

Today let’s focus on those larger odd shaped pieces.  I know that there are some who love to do applique and paper-piecing, sew maybe we can find a few patterns to bust those pieces.

Our first one is from Karen Brown of Just Get it Done quilts.  This is a tutorial on how to use scraps and raw edge applique.
