with this set of scraps (whites, solids, batiks), i decided to see what they could be used for and made up the block at the bottom. alas, it's totally without zing....scrappy yes but boring! so, back to the drawing board. i decided to use the solids to make some mini 9-patch amish blocks and put the others aside for now. the whites are leftovers from backings and backgrounds of other projects and i just can't simply toss them. i do have a scrappy christmas in progress to use them up, but i'll still have some left over i'm sure. the big problem with white fabric is that it simply STOPS any action in the quilt completely. sometimes i use it purposely for quilting space, but
usually prefer to have more zing in my projects....
