    aren't these fun blocks? you can just mindlessly sew and have fun and the end results are always awesome

    i was always afraid the ink from the pages would rub off onto hands & fabrics? does it? it would sure be a better way to use old phone books- and probably easier to remove the papers too...i found that newspaper the ink comes off & makes a huge mess- i just assumed it would from phone books too.

    I use used dryer sheets too do the same thing......They are uniform in size and give a little stability to the peice. Great job....very pretty....
