I find I have narrow strips left over after trimming a quilt before binding. These would work great with this method and if you wanted to be a little wonky don't worry about cutting them precisely! HMM maybe I should try it.
Sounds good to me! It's a natural! Good way to use them up. I had a lady send me some leftovers from her quilt one time and wanted me to do something with them. The strips were 5/8" wide. I used a scant 1/8th and sewed them all in strip sets and made a checkbook cover and bookmarks with them for her. It was a challenge and I loved it! A scant 1/8th sounds like it wouldn't hold but if you open the seams and iron it gives the seam more stability. Less chance to ravel out. I used to use 1/8th on all my billfolds when I did pieced fronts on them with the finished squares being 1/4".
