keep those strips in a bag or sonething on the side. Then save up strips from other projects. They will multiply (don't ask me how) and soon you can visit Bonnie Hunter's site at www.quiltville.com and make gorgeous quilts with your scraps.
I like adding to my tub of scraps, someday I hope to have a zillion to choose from to make some of the quilts on her site. I have made the Strip Twist but there are so many more I'd like to do.
