The garden is starting to come in here in Alabama. I don't have time to get into a new indepth endeavor, so I started a string quilt with the full bag of selvedge and various other strips of cloth I had amassed. I made an interesting discovery ..... when I sewed my strips to a foundation, I didn't cut the left over cloth until I had several pieces sewed and pressed down. I ran the seam all the way to the end of the strips, and the resulting 2 or 3 strips sewed together (once pressed and cut) make wonderful beginnings for a crumb block!
