You finish one sewing or quilting project and there's a ton of scraps left over - what do you do with them? Sharing my way of categorizing different sizes of scrap fabric and what types of projects I tend to use them for. Also a quick tutorial for making quilted hexagon mug rugs / hot pads and coasters.
SUPPLIES:
Hexagon templates (I worked up a template with two sizes very close to what I used)
