After you have made a few quilts, you begin to notice all the leftover scraps. Quilters can never throw a nice piece of material away. I use a lot of the scraps for making Crazy Quilts. It is relaxing , after working on a lot of pattern quilts, just to sit down and do Crazy Quilts. You can sew any scrap of any size, mixing any color you like. Just sit ddown and do a few squares, and forget about them til you feel in the mood again. I usually try and make different borders, and sometimes put a border, between the blocks.
When making some for children, I often put some thing of interest to them inthe center of each block. They uhave lots of bright colors that children like.
