Does anyone use small scraps?
Does anyone here need/use small scraps? If so how small is small and what is
the smallest you'd find useful? I'd be happy to cover postage if they were finding a good home. Wendy in Luxembourg |

I use scraps small enough to get a one-and-a-half-inch square or triangle.
But I wouldn't expect you to pay postage from Luxembourg! Someone closer to your location should post a reply. So sweet of you to offer these, one of the fun things about postage stamp quilts is in getting small scraps from other sewers who buy fabrics you can't get locally. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine.

I use everything down to 1.5". Use smaller scraps too, just not very
consistently :-) And I'm in Europe! Roberta in D "Wendy Young" wrote in message ... Does anyone here need/use small scraps? If so how small is small and what is the smallest you'd find useful? I'd be happy to cover postage if they were finding a good home. Wendy in Luxembourg |

Didn't take long for them to find a home, they're headed north of here!

She probably won't say, but our own nzl* uses small bits for her wonderful
appliqué. Pati, in Phx who is getting another envelope of them ready to mail out sometime in the next month or so.. I hope. Wendy Young wrote: Does anyone here need/use small scraps?

Fusible applique often requires pieces smaller than 1.5 inches.

The smallest I have done are about 1/4 " long. I do cheat sometimes, like
with the wings on the bees on the cushions where I cut 1 piece for 2 wings and put the body over the top of the wings. The holes on the Bird House WH are about the same size but were a bit fiddly 'coz they were round.
