This is a great projects for using up your tiniest scraps of fabric!! Quilters are a very frugal bunch as I can tell, and hate to throw anything away! So what to do with your small strips? You can save anything that's 1/2 to 3/4 inches in width and use it to make a basket/bowl/purse, etc. Just think...make your quilt and use the leftovers to make a coordinating basket or bowl to go on the nightstand beside the quilt you made. The ideas are endless! Good luck with the tutorial. If you do want to try this I highly recommend Susan Breier's book, "It's a Wrap". I have just highlighted the steps in the tutorial, she however gives a lot more detail, instructions and lots of pictures!
