Thanks for sharing your work. I have a bunch of tapes to try this on but as yet they are still patiently waiting I wonder if they feel forgotten.

That is so very beautiful, I like the use off all the scraps, that is used in the scrap quilts.

why do is paper used to sew scraps together versus just sewing the fabric pieces together first?
how do you sew the fabric pieces onto the paper tape?
Thanks

You could just sew the strips together but it would be a mess. Take a look at the size of these scraps. The paper gives you something to sew to.

One long string of these things sewn together, without the paper underneath for stability would quickly stretch to all kinds of dimensions! :D

Is there a tutorial to give me directions for this?
