Love looking at all of the scrappies. Nice quilts "sewbizgirl" and especially like your strings quilt. Did you use a foundation of some kind? I am thinking of making a strings quilt and been doing research on different kinds of foundations and I am more confused now than when I started searching. LOL

The dryer sheets were used, not new. I know that others have had good results with the dryer sheets, so the problem was most likely me. 
Mainly, I'm sure, because I did not baste it at all, thinking it was small enough. I also got frustrated with it and just wanted it done. Ah, well. Lesson learned. I may give it another go sometime. I liked using up all those odd crumbs.
I am still saving dryer sheets. I try to recycle, re-use things when I can. Someone at my guild said they save dryer sheets for cat/small dog beds. So, I'm thinking of some old pillow cases I have that can be stuffed with dryer sheets. But that will take ALOT of dryer sheets!!

Got to practice my McTavishing and various other freehand and ruler work quilting designs on my Tin Lizzie for a finish last year. Completely forgot about posting on this board.

This is the first queen sized quilt I have made. I hope it counts as scrappy.
It is made from old blue jeans, a windowpane I think it's called, back and top. I stitched everything on my sewing machine using a lot of thread!
