What do you do with 100 2.25" refrigerator magnets you salvaged from being thrown away because they were for a handout for a convention a few years ago and the organization is cleaning our old stuff? YOU TAKE THEM FOR YOUR STASH.....
Now several years later when your guild is thinking of things to sell in their booth at a quilt show, hmmm you remember those magnets...
You start off with digging in your scrap baskets and find what left overs you have
The more you dig the more you find and not even sure what it was left over from but it is nice
The parts join together and the next thing you have is this
A bit of trimming and then you have this.
This is a finished square that is a quilt sandwich of left over stuff, craft felt and a backing/ quilted together and cut with pinking shears. the craft felt (fake batting) is nice because it hold so well and does not flake or shed.
The finished mini blocks are then hot glued onto the salvaged magnets ready for sale (if they are chosen for the booth) at our guild booth later this summer. 100 "free" items could give back dollars to be used by our guild.
