Mary Q C - I have been trying to resist pulling all those strips out of the garbage, but now that I know I could make a rug out of them, I may not be able to!!!! What needle and thread do you use to sew through the rope wrapped with fabric?

quilterpat- I was given the pattern for block of the month at my quilt guild (and was lucky enough to win 17 blocks!), but I believe it came from quilter's cache and is called mini bowtie.

Boston1954 - Great idea, but I would hate to lure the birds to my yard with the two cats I have!

I have another basket that weird shaped pieces go and those I use for a mini quilt.

Then all of those strips from squaring up your fabric. I wrap clothesline rope with the strips then zigzag around making either a rug or a basket.

I'll attach some pictures of wips.

You can make fun of me too. You will be in good company. You have beautiful trash!!!
I won't make fun of you Dearheart cuz your doing amazing things I could NEVER do..... Let me know if you need more scraps

Now I see I have been throwing away usable tiny little pieces. Will start saving them now. Love the bowtie and all your colors are great.

You have to do a tut on how to make those rugs. What a brilliant idea! Jan

Lucky Patsy's 08-30-2008 07:53 PM
Yes, yes, a tutorial, please!!!!

I will work on a tutorial. It is really simple. The hard part is keeping it flat. If it doesn't stay flat, I turn them into a basket. :)
