What to do with apple core scraps?

Make a mini log cabin! I had 42 1" x 5" strips from when I did the apple core English paper piecing (EPP), so I went with the classic log cabin. I ended up with enough to make 4 3" blocks which were sashed with leftover strips that matched the center square in each cabin's "hearth". 

What do you like to do with little bit like these strips?

Apple Cores!

 Normally when I say apple core it is normally preceded by a "Why???" and followed by "insert location apple cores absolutely should not be" aimed at Little Bit but these are the kind I love to find!!

Two packages of apple core pieces from PaperPieces.com were hiding in one of my sewing drawers so they ended up glue basted to some gorgeous fabric from Holly Taylor called Enchanted Pond. I really love the depth of colour her lines have, as well as how they can be very gender neutral but still rich with warmth.

I was originally going to hand stitch them together but I decided since my hands hurt a lot lately I'd cheat. I sewed them together on the machine with a zig zag and I finally have an apple core not quite mini quilt!
