Yesterday I completed Scrappy Stars, a Pat Sloan free pattern. Except for sashing the entire top used stash fabrics. It's about 65" X 80". I put a border I made from sewing strings onto used fabric sheets. I sew many together after I make several string blocks then trim the length to 6", then I cut the entire length in half, ending with double the length in a 3" piece. I had so many that i didnt use 2 halves of the same length & still have a lot left. I also bordered another completed top the same way in July. I will have to buy backing, though, as none of what K & i have between us will work. I've decided to gift this to my 73 year-old cousin who fell 3 weeks ago & broke her hip. She's in a rehab facility for PT, & has had been allowed no visitors since this happened 2 weeks ago. I sent her a pic before I added borders & she loved it, so it will be hers.
