Reba, love both of your Christmas blocks... especially mine! Thank you. The kitty block is great too. Adorable piecing.

Saturday I "taught" (led) a mini class at our charity quilt meeting... on making a scrappy strata quilt out of all of your leftover strips. You just sew them in a "strata" (rows going the same direction) until about 10-12" wide, then cross cut them into 1.5", 2" and 2.5" pieces. Make rows of each width you cut, as wide as you want your scrappy quilt. Then sew together. It looks like you sewed a zillion tiny pieces into a quilt, but it was done easily with strips of all sizes and widths. So I have been adding to my Strata quilt all last night and today after church... trying to get my tons of strip scraps sewn up into this quilt. Fun, but I feel like there's no end to my strip scraps. Here is what the end result will look like.
