Beautiful job on both!!! I love them.

Thanks for the info!!! I can think of several applications I might use them for.

I have been using various sized strips of muslin (very thin muslin) to sew my scraps to. I make sure that no fabric is repeated on the same strip. My plan is to put them all together for a charity quilt. The samples I saw here are much prettier than my original idea - Thank You.

Anyhow, the strips with the fabric backing allow for very thin or no batting (like for a summer quilt) AND the extra bonus: It uses scraps!

I think I would soak it in the tub and then pick out all the pieces of paper before draining it, maybe?
