I don't have a photo, but I recently made some string place mats---a good way to use strips and an easy way to make neat place mats. If you layer you backing and batting and then do a stitch-and-flip pattern with your strips, you'll have it pre-quilted and reversible--just have to add binding. You can make your strips vertical, horizontal or -- as I did--on a diagonal. I Your strips can all be one size or the width can vary... have a round table and wanted to squeeze a couple of extra people around it. I make square mats.---oops just saw someone had added a picture of pretty string mats.
