Thanks to the Scrappy Mail Swap, which is currently in its 2nd round, I have so many 2.5 inch square pieces of just the best, most awesome fabric. In attempt to use what I received from round 1 and make room for the squares that are currently on the way to my mailbox, I turned a stack of scrappy squares into a pillow cover!
Those perfect points are not due to my awesome precision skills! I used the following tutorial from Elizabeth Hartman that @marionberries shared in round 1 of Scrappy Mail.
It was so easy and really achieved a level of alignment I’m usually not capable of! I admit that I did take some shortcuts. I did not create any sort of grid to lay out my squares - just placed them on the interfacing. I also used my rotary cutter to very carefully snip the folded edges for each row. Worked for me!
I’m supposed to be making 5 more, but seem to have lost momentum. The squares have found themselves in other projects…like the fabric bins I posted recently, some reusable gift bags, oh! And a zip pouch I made for my mom:
I see at least 10 fabric bits from my stash! Oh my gosh, that’s so oddly exciting. I love what you made. Placemats, what a great idea.

Why do we all get so excited to see part of our fabric stash in projects? I love all of these projects, @Abbeeroad !!! You are inspiring in the scrappy patchwork projects department!
Ooh, those are both great ways to showcase all those scrappy squares! I love that your squares are managing to pop up in a variety of different projects!
Maybe next time!
