killing 2 birds with one stone!

I love scrappy bits of fabric. I find it hard to cut into a beautiful piece of fabric sometimes but with scraps I feel reckless and inspired. So, to get my sewing mojo back I made my first scrappy log cabin block.

First I cut out a 2 inch square. Then I found all my favourite scraps and cut them into 1inch strips. I sewed randomly and tried not to think too hard about colours, and finished with white cotton. A new addiciton methinks! Unfortunately it means even fewer scraps are going to get thrown out now ;)

Oh yeah, and now I can't stop making them!

This one came out a bit wonky but at least I'm sewing again!
