Jelly Roll Race - put your strips into a bag. Pull out two and stitch together - ad another one and don't worry how they come out. Once you have your long strip sewn, gold it together and stitch longways. Keep folding it on itself an stitching till you have it the size/shape you want. I'll post some made by new sewists - kids aged 9-21 who hadn't used a sewing machine before.
