Making fabric

It is my opinion that one of the most relaxing part of quilting is "making fabric" from stash scraps. Just to sit and sew together bits and pieces leftover from other projects or sliced from larger pieces is sooo much fun. When I am stressed, sometimes I chill by doing this. Then later I look at all of what I have made and cut them into projects. The purse at the end of this post was made this way.

This purse was cut from fabric that I had "made" by sewing cut strips together and then appliqued the bird on top.
