Make stacks of strings as you cut out your current project while the fabric is still ironed and roll as soon as that stack is about 1/2 in thick.. I promise it’s a lot less work than re-ironing later.

What a fantastic idea and thank you so much for sharing your creative organization way. Now when you have a few minutes you can just go and sew a few strings together and before you know it you have a block. Thanks so much

This is a great idea that I may hijack for my 1.5", 2" and "2.5" strips which are currently laid into plastic shoe boxes.
My strings are all less than 1.5" though and are dropped into a tote under my cutting table, triangles go into a bag ready for 'corners' of QAYG blocks. I may give it a try to roll these but I'm not sure I would keep it up though. What are the smallest pieces you keep zozee? I keep short strings for 3" wide 'adding machine paper' piecing and pieces shorter than that I keep for ................. well, I'm sure I'll think of something
