A good way to get rid of those off cuts or scraps that have been hanging around for years is to composed a landscape of different textures on a decent size piece of curtain lining or other suitable neutral fabric. I try to group these in same, concrete blocks of colour and arrange in a contemporary design or in a haphazard way. Either way you'll create your own sense of balance in the composition or what is pleasing to your eye. The important thing is to create with a practical project in mind e.g. cushion cover, quilt, waistcoat etc. I think I will sew all mine together to form a quilt or individual cushion covers. To be honest I can't think of anything else that would be practical. I have sharpened the photo to illustrate the beautiful taffeta, lace, silk and lame. Believe it or not but the fabric is black but appears dark red and green here. Nevertheless it gives a good idea of rich texture don't you think?
