Ideas on how to use leftover fusible interfacing?
#1
For the t-shirt quilt, I bought six yards of lightweight fusible interfacing (bought more interfacing than fabric that day!). Most of my shirts will be cut to 15.5" square so basically I'll end up with this 6.5"x216" yard strip of interfacing.
What in the world am I going to do with a half foot by six yard strip of interfacing??? Any suggestions on how to use it all up?

I cut 1 1/2" strips the length of the interfacing and then butt up my leftover batting [cotton not poly] and presto you have a larger piece and do not have to hand sew together. I have made several large quilts using up all my leftovers this way. Make sure the edges are butted up and not scrunched up. A lot of the pieces have to be trimmed.

What a good idea that is!

Make wallets, change purses or mug heating pads like the cardboard ones Tim Horton's puts on their to go cups. Make a bunch ahead of time with your scrap interfacing and scrap fabrics for quick and always ready gifts.
