Yes you can sew strips together for the Bostons or the Kansas Dugouts. You can sew two strips together for the Kansas Dugouts and then trim the center strip to the size you want. Then sew on the third strip. After you have all 3 strips cut then cut off a 3 3/4" sections and then use the 2 1/2" template to cut out your Kansas Dugout. You can pull the remaining leftovers apart and resuse them to sew more strips together and cut out more blocks.

Have you seen my confusion method or the crumb block method that is posted on here? You can sew your little pieces into bigger blocks and do a crazy type block. It uses them up quite nicely!
