Every once in a while it's time to clear out a bag of scraps. My scrap-user system involves putting pieces of the same width in gallon Ziploc bags. When they get reasonably full, it's time to find a project to use them up.
Well, this week the teeniest of scraps got the attention. I dumped out and sorted the 1-1/4 inch strips by size. Next came a little math and a prototype Log Cabin block to test out what I needed. Strips were cut and put in small bags, all ready to sew up more Log Cabins.
The two smallest pieces in the Log Cabins are red and white at 1-1/4 inches each. The shortest dark strip is 2-inches. So, in the end, I had a bunch of dark strips that were smaller than 2-inches and couldn't be used.
What to do? 4-patches! Trimmed to 2-inches and cute as can be. They might make nice cornerstones in a future project, or maybe the center of a Square-in-square block. Possibilities....
