Any suggestions? yes - no????

Ms. Grace, Oh, how beautiful that is. I've been cutting strips for quilts for years and always have a few leftover from every project and save them in plastic bags according to color -- brown, green, red, turquoise, blue, yellow, orange, purple, etc. Sometimes the scraps get combined to do a controlled scrap strip quilt, and the bag remains filled with leftovers from that. They'd be perfect for making the kind of masterpiece you just did, but you have a real way with color nobody can beat. I'd just be happy to get a surface for the cutest charity quilt ever.
Thanks a ton for an amazingly wonderful, delightful idea!
KUDOS!!!!!!!
