What to do with Scraps

Had some leftover drapery material, the old diningroom chairs needed covering, so tore the old ones apart and made them all different. I love the effect! Nothing has to match, and yet, they all still have the same tonal hue. And didn't have to use anything new. Even used a piece of poly filler underneath to bolster up the sweet hay that was used over 80 years ago as filler.
Started organizing reams of scraps that just sit on the shelf an do nothing..............

Ironed and folded everything to see what was available. These are just some of the leftovers.

Cut most of it into 6 inch squares that I can use to a multitude of quilts, either as triangles or squares, in a variety of designs. Really useful. Love cleaning out stuff and finding a use for it all.
