Sewing projects that use fabric scraps are one of my favorites. I love re-using or repurposing items that are otherwise already considered trash, and I also love maximizing the purposes of each material I use for a certain craft. One of the recent quilt projects I’ve tried is this one by Carol Thelen on YouTube, this is such a fun and easy quilt block, and I’m sure that even beginners will enjoy making this.
