I use very thin fabric that my quilting buddies
are putting on the
give away table...Bu watch it so it
doesn't move on you.

Love scrappy quilts.

The string quilts all seem to work as long as there is a strong color center strip to pull the blocks together. I've used multiple-time used dryer sheets, blank newsprint from the dollar store, phone book pages, and old sheets. Whatever works for you is good.

I haven't made a scrappy yet but the scrap bags are spreading. Has anyone tried the water soluble backing used for machine embroidery, it seems to be strong enough to last the sewing part and I don't want to find out the hard way that it isn't suitable? It is quick to rinse out which I would find easier than tackling tearing paper out.

I love the idea of a thin batting. I'm going to get some and try that. I have a box of strips that are piling up.

This is a great string quilt. Last time I made one it felt like I ended up with more scraps than when I started. What's up with that?

Great way to use scraps

I too used the dryer sheets... more difficult to quilt,,, but was fun,, I am ashamed to say it really didn't even make a DENT!
