    Pretty! Don't feel bad, I have 2 tall kitchen trash cans FULL of scraps. Just haven't felt like using them.

    Use tissue wrapping paper; easy to sew, cut and remove as well as cheap. Blocks are light and easy to quilt.

    I love the scrappy quilts, somehow they fit any room, any bed or any sofa or lounge chair. Great Quilt. Thanks for posting.

    One of the things I use for paper piecing is sandwich paper. It is non-waxed, semi-transparent, and is cut to a 12" square. Restaurants use it to line baskets for french fries. Very inexpensive and you get LOTS (1000) of paper. I get mine at the local restaurant supply store. All the little tiny bits of paper that stick to the corners of seams will wash out/dissolve, so I don't have to worry about getting every last little bit of paper removed.

    I have a friend who uses no foundation...just sews the strips together and cuts the squares.

    We had a lecturer at our guild meeting who suggested cotton batiste, but I've had a hard time finding it.

    I have used well worn sheets cut up in squares for crazy quilts, they are a little heavier but not too heavy...tearing off paper just does not appeal to me.

    Happy to hear about that ". Easy Pattern ". If I am out of used sheets as I won't use paper then have to take it off.
