I make these quite often. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-120111-1.htm I use my scraps and scraps donated from others at my guild. This one is a crib size and although I still need to trim some threads, it's ready to go. This was all pieced on used computer paper that would have been shredded. I pieced it all on my vintage Singer 319W and FMQ it on my Janome 9000.

That is a great quilt! Love the idea of using scraps to make something so beautiful.

These are fun to do. I have several made. Makes it easy when DH comes home asking for a baby gift for coworkers.

I start with the center strip (mainly I do black) and work of those edges. I don't have a certain size strip as the objective is to use what I have;> I use very small, probably an inch all the way up to an occasional 3 or 4 inch. No worries, no stress, easy peasy.

Don't we all love the string quilts. Such a great way to use up our scraps. Great job.

How do you get the computer paper off? Does it take forever?

I love your little quilt. Looks like fun.

nanabirdmo 10-16-2011 06:10 AM

On second look I noticed the really cool binding. Is it scrappy as well or a print. Looks great.
