Great Gift Ideas

When piecing and finishing a quilt, large fabric pieces, such as extra backing fabric, are often left over. Turn those scraps into fast gifts! Use pinking shears to cut the raw edges of a 10" fabric square and use it to wrap a store-bought 6" or smaller potted plant. Tie a scrap of pretty ribbon or rickrack snugly around the pot, and you have a cute and easy gift for a teacher or neighbor.
