Woof! ... Thanks for the new term ... I use Thread Dogs all the time!
Another idea .....
I read in a magazine one time how you sew two quilts at once. when you have pieces for the "other" quilt waiting, and you use them in place of thread dogs. I haven't done this, but always thought it'd be a great way to sew scrappy squares or boring patches, without making any effort. They'd add up and you wouldn't get bored!
arf! arf!
