I have done it - made hot pads and such - nothing big yet, but will one day - I am collecting any and all of my one inch strips that I think I will NEVER use in scrappy quilts (I keep 2 inch or more for those ;) ). It does take alot of fabric and it is tedious but on a road trip or relaxing by a campfire or just gooing in front of the TV - it's mindless and can be done easily - in my opinion.
