What do you do with your scraps?
As a by-product of sewing, I have a ridiculous amount of scrap fabric. Like, bags and bags and bags of scrap. The kind that could/should get me on Hoarders.
Every once a while, in a somewhat futile effort to do something with it, I make a quilt top for no reason at all. This one was made sometime this year, as far as I can remember. I think my cousin needed a present for a baby, so I gave it to her, and she quilted it up? I can't remember... (maybe I gave her this quilt top instead?)
Some of the fabric in the top come from leftovers from clothing - remnants from this dress, this skirt, and the rest is quilting scrap.
My favorite efforts to make quilt tops from scrap - this woolen one and this bed-size one (complete insanity, by the way, dating back to days where I clearly had more time than I do right now.)

I really like all of the quilts. I hope you have quilted them and are not letting them languish away as tops only. I've some that have not been quilted and am very sorry
as they end up left in a closest and/or thrown away! Maybe some of your quilting friends would barter with you you; make them a dress and they'll quilt your tops.
beautiful motifs with bright colors, I love it. I wait your presence on my blog. http://skrtu.blogspot.com
