I got a wild hair a few months ago and cut up TONS of fabric into strips that were: 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3", 3.5" and 5" ... so, now I have a container of totally unrelated strips in those widths. I am thinking:
the formula is to end up with 1600 inches of fabric, so if I took and cut the WOF strips in half, then sewed those fabrics, end to end, it will look a bit more scrappy. But, not today ... it will just have to go on my "to do" list ;) ... I just really enjoy being able to put a lot of different colors through on a pretty much mindless pattern ...
another idea I have (especially for those quilts where I ended up with a bunch of lights together?) ... use some fusible web and create forms or Sunbonnet Sue or something like that ... stitch them onto the "blank" spaces and the rest would look very planned and scrappy <g> <wave>
