Finally, I have cleaned out my green scraps as much as I can.&nbsp; The pieces left, which I have sewn together, are not big enough to make anything, but will be the basis for a <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-projects-tutorials\/aq-tutorials\/journal-cover-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal Cover<\/a> or the next <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/series-quilts\/color-improv-donation-top-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Color Improv<\/a> donation quilt.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this clean and clear state of affairs won&#8217;t last for long.
