What to do with leftover scraps from the leftover scraps!

I have a fairly large (okay colossal) collection of scraps. Shortly before we moved, I organized them and cut them into 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″ strips and 5″ and 6″ squares. But I had leftovers from the leftovers!  So I made the tea cosy a few months ago and last week with the leftover leftovers, […]
