This is a cool way to use those strips...

that is a good way. :)

I am busy using strips in three projects. Can ya believe it? I have 3 going at one time. One is near the end, one is in the middle and one is just beginning.

Well, all those "in progress" quilts certainly keep us out the bars..... :wink: :wink:

Yes. I can believe it. Some times it is easier to work on a couple and get things cleared away. Recently I was given a lots of scraps. I spent the best part of 2 weeks sorting, pressing and cutting and stitching what I call "components" for several quilts. Then I put them in a box for a time when I can assemble them. I had to stop to do this task or else it would have overwhelmed me. Daughter came to visit and commented about what a mess my sewing room was. A quilter cannot work with scraps without a mess. If someone finds out how to do this (other than throw all those scraps in the trash) please let me know.

I have completed the top of 1 quilt...made from 1 1/2 and 2 inch strips. Then I cut 3 inch squares to make half square triangles, then 2 in ch squares for another quilt. Still there are scraps in the box and I am say9ing "you are going to wait."

Members here have shown some wonderful scrap quilts. Among them are Pathways to Piece and Arkansas Crossroads. They can be found by doing a search. The white compliments the colors and make really pretty quilts. check 'em out.
