I know someone who makes blocks out of her scraps and uses them to make a border around quilts etc. - she mostly uses the same colors so the blocks usually match. But making these wides stripes and cutting afterwards is an interesting idea, too.
Do you know #needleworkmonday? It's a community of people who love needleworks - knitting, crocheting, sewing, cross stitch... every craft where a needle is involved is welcome. Each monday we show each other (and the world) what we are working on, what we plan to do or what project just has been finished. You can see all the posts at our community account @needleworkmonday :)
We share our love and passion for the needle arts and value comments and advice. With people from all over the world involved there is a vast pool of knowledge to be shared. Why don't you take a look when it's #needleworkmonday again?
