But today I want to talk about fabric leftovers. We call them scraps. And I'm sure we have all made some sort of scrappy quilts using the remnants of fabric that clog up our ever growing scrap baskets.
I recently decided that I needed a runner for my dining room table. After digging around in my stash I found these strips of batik that came from another project.
The colors are cool and could be used for any season. And this pattern makes up quickly.
Perfect for this time of year.
It sure makes for Happy Quilting!

Quick table toppers are an excellent way to use up scraps and leftover bits, orphan blocks make good bases for them too. I often say that the scraps cost the same as the yardage did, so use them up.
Lovely table runner...great use for scraps...hugs, Julierose
Lovely! I try to do something with my leftovers too. Sometimes it's easier than others :-)
This looks awesome!
A sweet, easy finish. Great use for those smallish strips.
oh do I have leftovers from all the aprons I've done! Great project to use them up, XOXO
I just used some of my leftovers to make a backing for a quilt. Nice to have them gone, and, have them turn into something pretty.
Wonderful leftovers.....
What a great combination of leftovers!
That turned out beautifully!! I save my scraps for applique - they sure do come in handy!
a great way to use your scraps, I too have many and one day will make another scrap quilt, my granddaughter seems to like the one made for her
WOW it looks great!!!
It is beautiful. Those are the nicest leftovers I have ever seen.
Scraps always look good! And you can make so many beautiful things with them, your table runner is a wonderful example!
