Fabric Scrap Ideas
Many thanks to all of you who are still hanging in there with me as I try to get back onto a regular posting schedule. The lack of internet connectivity is still causing a bit of a problem, but I’m hoping it will be taken care of soon.
In the meantime, I need to ask for your help.
My mother-in-law came up for a visit again this weekend. We had a great time yard sale-ing and thrift store treasure hunting on Saturday morning, and then new shoe shopping for me that afternoon. Catti-brie has decided, at one year-old, that shoe chewing is a great idea. I discovered and disposed of three pairs of ruined shoes when I was cleaning out my closet last week. The little stinker.
At any rate, that evening, my mother-in-law went out to her car and retrieved a particularly good yard sale find that she had purchased a few weeks ago. She walked in with a stack of fabric sample books.

These books are filled with multi-purpose fabric samples in all types of blends and textures. I was so excited as I flipped through each book, studying the different patterns and color combinations. My husband pointed out that these fabric samples, which are all identically cut, would be easy to piece into a quilt of some sort.
But, other than that, what can I do with all of these?
I would love any project ideas that you may have for these little rectangles. They are all fastened together into a book, but the usable portion that is not stapled or altered measures approximately 8.25 x 5.75.
Thoughts?
