Square management

You may not need another little thing on your sewing table.

You may have the fabric organization GENE!  :)

You may already have the perfect spot for ALL your scraps and leftovers.

I'm always collecting little squares.

I have a "THING" for little squares.

I like to cut them up out of the leftovers from projects.

Getting them rounded up is always the challenge.

This little basket was a prototype.

I was designing a little COASTER basket found here

and made a FEW

I WONDER baskets.

"I wonder if this work?"

"I wonder if THAT will work??"

This basket was TOO big for coasters...

but it works for my

2", 2 1/2" and 3" squares.

They all have a corner

and ONE corner is leftover for....????

Do I dare begin a 1 1/2" corner??

'

This little basket is made up of TWO 11"x 11" squares.

I laid them out BACK to back

(wrong side to wrong side)

and cut out 2 1/2" squares from the corners.

I used some bias tape.

Laid that bias tape down

and covered EACH corner.

I opened it up and sewed around...

I turned at each corner after going 1/4" past the corner.

With needle DOWN...

I turned the basket and stitched.

Then I rolled the bias tape over and top stitched.

Each corner is now covered.

I added bias tape around the top

in the same way.

The only tricky part is moving EACH side

up to meet at the corners.

Not really tricky.

Maybe a little fiddly.

;)

I don't really need anything else on my sewing table...

BUT...

I DO appreciate a little organizational HELP!!!!
