I have also been cutting my scraps into squares and strips.Things are looking better in my sewing room.I recently got the book Nickle Quilts and I hope to make some of those in the near future.I have been working on a pineapple quilt with the 1" strips I cut several years ago. Wow that one takes some time. It will be very warm cause as small as the pieces are the fabric is sort of doubled. And the strips aren't really getting used up. So I think I will try a log cabin next.That's a lot of work also, but maybe the strips will get used up after 2 quilts.
