do you save up the craps and then do a load at a time, or use them as you acquire them? yours seem to be well-mixed.

I saw a tip one time - - when you have a container full of the same sized anything, then it is time to make a quilt. For a project like this, I would think that a container the size of the plastic shoe boxes at walmart would be a good guide for when to do the string pieced adding machine tape technique. But, I am not organized. If I were, this is the way I would do it! *as she looks around at the 22 plastic shoe box containers full of scraps and remembers the two big boxes upstairs that she "organized" shoe boxes into and thinks - - is this really going to be helpful?????*** <wave> |
maybe i didn't mean scraps, wise guy! :roll:
anyway, i think i would wait a long time, more than a shoebox. maybe a boot box. maybe a dresser drawer. then scramble them around really well. i think diversity is the key so the string matches everything. |

Hi everyone. I'm very new to the board but not to quilting so feel like a real ninny for not understanding this tute about string piecing on adding machine paper. I don't understand what the point of the paper is. Sorry, I love the look of all the quilts made from the strips but am quite stumped as to why you need the paper. Please enlighten me lovely ladies.
