Sew them together to make strips, like this.
Quilt them and then cut them into a desired shape...

Scrap Attack
If you sew and hang on to all the bits and pieces remaining from your projects, you will end up with an assortment of scraps. I have a system of keeping mine in containers marked with the strip size to encourage using up my scraps. I got looking at a container full of plaid scraps that I've collected (not actually my scraps, but ones I picked up from another quilter...) and decided to put those lovely pieces to work. Here's my project that makes use of fabric scraps.

Katherine, that bag is amazing! What a beautiful way to 'recycle' your scraps!
Absolutely lovely, my gifted and talented friend! I love seeing the progression.

The things you can do with scraps amazes me! This is beautiful!! I bet the other quilter that gave you her scraps is kicking herself right now!!
What a lot of sewing, but worth the result!
I like to see the progression too. Although I am still baffled as to how you can make a little box of scraps into something so lovely and useful. I keep looking at the pics trying to figure out how to do it and hoping that some of your talent might rub off on me if I study the picture long enough. :-(
This looks like a really useful holdall, I can't get over how you made those old scraps into something like this, you have some vision!
All I can say Katherine is "wow". What other people would have tossed, you have made into an incredible little gem!
How do you do it! What a resourceful lady you are to come up with this. It's a great use of scraps that many would simply throw away.
Wow. I am in awe. Wish my brain worked like yours.
Hi Katherine,
You have really turned the Rikki Bag into a beautiful piece of art with the scrappy fabrics! It is fun to see how others get inspired to create bags from my book.
