Here is what I do with left over fabric....
what do you do with yours?
This apron was made from 19 - 5"squares....and I still had some fabric scraps left over so in true farmgirl fashion I made yoyos to trim the apron.
Ok, now I have used up every last little scrap.

in fact I am thinking about making another one, but I will 'crop' the pointed corners to soften the sides...

oh Good! I am so glad to see I am not the only one with a "Scrap Addiction" lol!
I save them (scraps) with the intention of using them for yoyos and then I look at them and think I want to use them for a crazy quilt instead and then I manage to talk myself into NOT using them in case I need them for something else later on down the road! lol! we scrap hoarders are falling to pieces!!!! hahaha!
It takes strong disaplain to make ourselves use those scraps.

ok, so here is a scrappers story,
I was watching on TV a Quilting show several years ago. The host was talking w/the guest quilter who shared this funny story...
The guest had carried on the plane & to the studio a paper large grocery type bag of bits & pieces of scraps...the night before, she had set up the work area in the studio for the next days shooting on quilting w/scraps,,,when she came in the next morning to her horror the paper bag of scraps was missing.... yep! you guessed it, the cleaning crew thought it was trash & tossed it out into the trash dumpsters! 
I can almost feel that guest's horror! lol!!
So I guess the moral of the story is: one womans scraps is another persons trash! AACCK! did I just use the "T" word? Sorry! lol!
