Trim your leftover muslin into 2" strips. Length does not matter. Place the strip down first, then place 2" red squares on top. Use up whatever squares you have, sewing a 1/4" seam.
Before cutting, iron open each square, pressing seam allowance under darker square. Place on cutting board and trim evenly with ruler aligned vertically on seam line. (This way, if your red squares are a bit wonky, the size will come out evenly.)
Attach units in horizontal, then vertical rows to create any size wall hanging or table runner. It can be larger or smaller, and can even go to a favorite Valentine.
Here's Dolly looking fluffier than ever. Her coat is so thick now I have to wipe her down with a dryer cloth, as she carries so much electric static with her. Now everyone can get a "charge" out of Dolly!
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
