    Can you please tell me what size blocks you made and how wide are the strips of fabric. Thanks in advance.
    The blocks are 61/2 in unfinished. Strips are all different sizes. Just grabbed one and sewed.

    Been using sheets for years, never had a problem yet and is more cost effective as I am on verrrry limited income.

    It is beautiful. I made 8 scrappy quilts and never used my scraps up. After a year of making 17 quilts I have tons more. Making up some squares I saved for quilts, I will get back to the scraps. I'm with others, I think they multiply in the bins.

    Good for you in using sheets for the backs, too - recycling to the max with the scraps. Lovely quilt - can't wait to see what you do next!
