Hi. I'm Betty from Texas. I'm interested to know just what you mean by "strip piecing". I have a large accumulation of fabric that I have received from friends and purchased at garage sales and thrift. I also rip up gently used garments for the fabric. The fabrics received from friends are frequently scraps left over from garments that they have made and are odd sizes. Ripping up garments also gives me odd size pieces. I need ideas for using up this mess of fabric. Due to a disability, I cannot use the scissors to cut out shapes. I can and do use a rotary cutter, but it is not easy to cut a block to exact size. My dominant hand trembles. I won't give up quilting! I need new ideas to use up all this fabric.
