Haven't talked in a while. Tks for the help but why do you use adding machine strips? Is it because you use small pieces & that makes them easier to handle?

One of my favorite scrappy quilt sites is this: http://www.maryquilts.com
And I found it through this board.
As my post came up I saw quilttiger's post for the same site.

Wow A., love that quilt. Basically from what I can see, you can take several pieces of left over material & sew in whatever design you want as long as it is balanced. Does that sound right? Tks for the help. Lots of ideas going thru my head. Lots of possibilities.
