Here is a hint for my SS. Scrap fabric. I am going to do the scrappy mystery train in January and believe it or not I do ont have a lot of scrap fabric. Pieces of any size I usually cut into 2 1/2" squares for other swaps and the really small pieces go for making dog beds for the animal shelter. I have a box set aside with strips for a future string quilt, but I don't have a lot of scraps. Isn't that unheard of for a quilter?
