Scrap Quilt: Part 2.

• Being a true scrap quilt even the backing fabric for each of the individual blocks are scrap pieces of calico saved from other sewing projects. In this photo l have sewn together two pieces of calico. As each square will be 5" x 5"  l have drawn a bigger square, 7' x 7" in pencil on the backing calico. the next step is to cut out this square....l now have my backing fabric ready.

Utilizing the scraps of the scraps
