Oh gosh dont cut them up just for strips... Find a box and toss wonky strips and strings and when it multiplies over night make a quilt...
Heres what I do:
start with a mess that needs to be tamed:
Then I figure my focal color- In this case it was red.. This strip is the only one I kept even through out- I used a 2.5 strip for each center strip.. the rest can be odds and ends..
I used fabric spray adhesive to keep the red center strip straight...
Then randomly add strips till both sides are covered- I omit any focal colors in this process.. As I prefer the eye to see only red in the center..
