Do. Not. Stop. Until. Every. Last. Scrap. Is. Used.

Where did I get this from?  My Mother?  My Grandmother?
I don't know.
I do know that out of one L'amour jelly roll I made:
Three table runners for Pay It Forward gifts
One little table runner that I ended up giving to my DIL
Then yesterday I used a few scraps for a thank you post card:
 
Still had some more scraps so I made this today:

 
Now that jelly roll is gone and I only made six project out of it!!

I just love that Dresden plate mat. LOVE it. What a great use of scraps. One of these days I will try that.

I think you should contact the fabric company and let them know how much you made out of just one jelly roll!!! That is very impressive...and I, too, love the Dresden!!!

ONLY 6 projects? That's fantastic:)

I agree with the other commenter that you should let Moda know how much you did with 1 roll.

And the dresden? Well, it's awesome!
