We all have scraps piling up and sewing them together to create a background adds interest to your quilt or other small project as well as a great way to use up that never ending pile of scraps!
Not only can you use this scrap sewing method as a background for applique, but by using darker fabrics and prints, you can create a unique quilt all by itself. My tester Maria did just that and will be turning her scrappy creation into cushions.
