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. Since tomorrow is April Fool’s Day, we are going to look at some “tricks” to help us with our sewing. Sew, shall we see what type of fun we can get into!
Our first trick comes from Tulip Square and shows how to make a seemingly difficult block into a fairly easy one, one of my favorites, Card Trick!
Or another beautiful block made easy! This is from Quilting Blocks and Patterns and shows how to make the Fool’s Square.

And we all love this block, the Fool’s Puzzle. This is from AccuQuilt and shows some tricks on how to simplify it.

Oh, and since today is Leap Day and I have an extra video for you!
From Pat Sloan, she has a wonderful Leap Day runner! Yes, seriously!
Have a happy Free Day full of sewing and I will see you next week!
