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!
Never thought of doing this. Glad to have a new idea and also get another top finished quicker.
