Can anyone suggest a pattern(s) or ideas as to what I can make with these strips and squares?
I don't know how may you have, but a string quilt pattern would probably use up a lot of the strips and then use the squares in the border (like piano keys only square with a solid between the squares). Or you could make a D9P and use the strips for sashing or narrow borders. Let us know what you decide. Good luck!
