I am writing a class description for "string type" patchwork.
Students will be using bits and pieces of fabric saved from ends of binding and from a long arm quilter who saves the trimmings for me.
Rather than call this material "strings" can anyone think of a more catchy name.

Yellow could be String Cheese! Colorful blocks could be Kite Strings? Or, something every teenager (and most single adults) needs, A Good Pickup Line!
