    This is a PDF of fabric made from the toss away can in my sewing room. Bits and pieces too small and trimmings from blocks I sized up for a quilt. Happy stitching everyone.

    Thank you for this wonderful tute! I would have never thought of this, but it will use up just about everything. We can get every penny out of each piece. Can't wait to try this!

    Thanks again!
