You can also use the strips on a latch hook backing (like big needlepoint canvas) and just do loops instead of the cut pieces. Don't remember exactly how I did it, as that was quite a few years and many projects ago. I don't think I cut the strips into little pieces, but I know you can do it that way. You end up with a very soft fluffy rug that will fray with washing like the denim and flannel rag quilts.
