Getting Some Stashbusting Done!

I'm finally cutting into some fabrics that have been hanging around for years. First, I started my Dad's Train quilt. Simple. Yep. Ok.. What I opted to do was cut out 5.5 inch squares from the various train fabrics and do a square-in-a-square method to frame them. I mention this on here because it is a great way to stashbust any kind of novelty fabric. Use a large print for the blocks and use a small print for some of the frame. I use Easy Angle to make my square in a squares. There's a small amount of waste, but they are perfect every time. Decide how big you want the square to the half inch. The surrounding square is done by cutting a strip the same size with an Easy Angle. Sew. Trim. Done.
