My daughter, fiber artist Beth A. Mastin,  is forever using up her scraps for her quilting and fabric art projects.  For this quilt, she started with a blue background piece she had put together previously from strips of various shades of blue.
As she dug through one of her bags of scraps, she found other snips and pieces of fabric to create the rest.  The blue portion is postcard size, with a border around to enlarge it.

What have you created from scraps? Large quilts or wall hanging size fabric art?  Or even postcards and inchies?

 In this era of “going green” or being environmentally conscious, are there some concerns to consider?  Noreen Crone-Findlay, blogger at Hankering for Yarn, points out Bamboo Fabric and Fiber…Bad News and references us to information pointing out a ”dark side” to bamboo fiber, along with the “green.”
She refers to Victoria Everman’s article, How Green is Bamboo Fabric? 
If you’re using or considering using exotic fabric and fibers in your work, you may want to learn the pros and cons.

I discovered something new (for me anyway).  It’s an interesting quiltmaking process called Stained Glass Quilting and mentioned at BCQuilters Weblog.  You’ll also find here a brief description of the process as the quilters has been learning it in class.
She also shows us a few “in progress” photos of her work.
Fascinating!
If you’ve ever tried this type of quilting, what were your results?  Do you have something on your blog about it?
(The book above may be of a different type of stained glass quilting than that on BCQulters.  However, each is equally beautiful.)
