That is a great idea!! You could pin a piece of paper on the end after you add scraps each time to say how long it is, so it wouldn't be too hard to keep track :)

Good idea! I'll remember that. I'm planning on teaching my grand daughter to sew when she stays with me this summer. Maybe this would be a good project for her. She has never used a sewing machine before. Small pieces and short seams with a long result will give she a sense of accomplishment and make a quick small quilt. Maybe we'll make a doll blanket quilt!
I'm saving this one for my grand daughter as well! Thank you for sharing this!
