I can't throw anything I try to make new fabric out of all the tiny little scraps: for example sewing all the small stripes one inch wide together and using the "lasagne method" I'll get new fabric:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]464559[/ATTACH] And they give nice little bags: [ATTACH=CONFIG]464560[/ATTACH] And if there are "crumbs" that I can't use I give them to the Kindergarten: they can sort for color or shape and glue them on paper to make some pictures out of them!!! |
Has anyone used tiny scraps for dog beds and then tried to wash it? I wonder how long it would take to dry in the dryer.

I think it depends on what they will be used for. I make crumb blocks, so I tend to use at least 1 1/2 inches. But if someone was making a miniature quilt, they may have a different criteria. I say, bag them up, and the recipient can pick and choose what to keep and what to pass on...

I was wondering the same thing,but I think the shelters throw them away when they get dirty. Not positive though.
|
I don't use pieces smaller than 2 inches or strips smaller than 1.5 inches.

1000 I love what you did with all the scraps. Never waste.. Hugs to you,

1000scraps, what clever ideas! I never thought to sew scraps together but now I am going to try it! thanks for the ideas.
|
great, looks cute, and all those scraps are good in quilts that only need a few small pieces and I use them also in paper piecing ,, but you hae taken it to a new level. thanks for sharing.. never heard it callled Crumbs, creative .. thanks for sharing :o

Are the crumbs pieced on a foundation or are they sewn together?

I have a big tub full of scraps, they are great for applique' work. Tiny flowers, leaves, butterflies, little bears, rabbits etc.
