Making Use of Scraps

I have been loving all my block swap scraps. Last night I used some of the smallest ones I saved. I am so glad I didn't throw them out.

These are 4" cards. The texture is great, I love the way they feel. I don't know how to make envelopes though. I wish I did. Can you buy envelopes in random sizes or do they all come in standard ones? I'd love to make some so I guess I'll have to start searching the internet for ways how.

Quilt Idea

I've been sketching out some new quilt ideas. I gave this one a try only on a smaller scale to see what I thought . I think I like it alot. It has a great texture and was simple to do. It was easy to cut out because it was only strips. I think that I will give this a try for a baby sized quilt if I ever find the time.

I turned this small scale one into a journal.

Knit Bib

I figured out what to do with some of my cotton yarn.

This is my first attempt at a bib. I am happy with its size and shape. I had trouble trying to figure out how to make the neck straps curve but I think I got it. The neck is big enough that Bronwyn should be able to use it for a while. I was going to make it close with a snap but I had too much trouble with that so I used Velcro.

I am going to make one more and than I'll post the pattern in Free Patterns.
