From Cabbage To Coleslaw

Day 251: If the trimmings from cutting out fabric for a garment are called "cabbage," then this must be "coleslaw." I'm working on two scrap quilts simultaneously and have reached the point on one of them where the blocks are ready to be cut to their final size before being assembled. This means I'm generating a lot of coleslaw from the cabbage I used to piece them. I am not quite so afflicted with OCD that I feel any compulsion to find a purpose for it beyond making a colourful photograph, but I suppose it could be used as filling for stuffed toys. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." Never has my grandmother's advice been so apt as in these times of shortages and rising prices.
