A scrappy from only the scrap piles...

My scrap piles multiply in the middle of the night so i decided to tame them down some..

here's my mess...

used cheapo muslin from Joannes..

and my finished top....
All from my scraps ( minus the muslin)

the blue borders were scraps of strips that i pieced to make fit.. and the piano keys in between the blues, were 2.5-3 inches of scrap strips i sewed on register receipt tape over the years..

Im happy to say i made a dent in my wonky strip stash piles.. Whoo Hoo !!
