Now on to the darks. I know I need about 9 strips per section - so I'm aiming for 1,000 and then I'll start sewing.

These are stacks of 50



I'm laying them out 5 layers and rough cutting them. The shorter pieces are going in the tote and I'll sew them together to make strips long enough to cut.


Once I have the strings done, I'll cut the triangles and then sew them into crosswise strips. At least the only thing that has to match is the triangle when sewing the strips together.

I'm so, so glad to be using up the piles of strings!
