What a super idea! Though I am an avid user of all scrap textiles, this idea was eye-opening to me! Thank you!

I’m starting to be a little more ruthless with what I keep and what I don’t – but only after holding on to it for a while!

Such fun block!!!

Thank you – and sorry for the late reply. I certainly had fun doing it, and it is always great when a project comes together in the way you envisaged it!
