I make a mixture od half water and half white glue, next I add the scraps to the mixture and give each child a pai of rubber gloves and an old glass Christmas ball. They cover the ball with these scraps and place them in an egg carton to dry...These make beautiful country Christmas orniments that the children can enjoy for years to come. This is not my original idea (Lord knows I never have one of those), I saw them at Cracker Barrell and thought that the children would enjoy making them...I was right

Gosh -- I only made two blocks. May-be I should hold off with mailing and make 10 more blocks. B/4 I mail these, did u get someone from Kansas to sign up.... if not, since I had lived there at Fort Riley for about 1 1/2 yrs, I could do a block or so for Kansas. Let me know.

I never throw away the parts, I make them into Half Square Triangles,and save them till I need them. I judt did a mini quilt for our Quilt Guild with the left over side corners and donated
it for the auction at our next Quilt Show.
