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 we will focus on those small, tiny scraps that seem to pop every time we sew! 

Spring is coming!  Let’s celebrate by making some Simple Flower Blocks that use up those little scraps.  This is from My Sewing Room:

From Jenny Doan, a pretty Spring Dresdens Quilt.  I love the colors that she chose.

And from Melody of Seasons, a fun and easy tutorial on how to make Butterfly Blocks for either coasters or as a quilt!

That’s all for today and I will see you next Thursday!
