Description
Valerie loves a thread saver and is always thinking of efficient ways to use the scraps from her blocks.
So what do we do with those tiny half square triangles left over from stitch and flip blocks?
Basically make tiny blocks that once squared up produce a new quilt resource.
She suggests that when sewing quarter inch seams these offcuts are used to start and finish the seams. Thus producing a pile of scrap blocks from the leaders and enders.
Saving these up and sewing them together into a scrap quilt will give you a quilt for free.
