    Thanks..I will have to give them a try. I really like scrappy and this is a great way to get a good mix of fabrics.

    I ordered two of these at different times & was really happy with the variety. They are strips of different widths/sizes and I used some of them for a crochet basket project also. I used my Go Baby to make cleanly cut 2.5" strips, 2" blocks, or even small tumblers & bricks. There were some *very* skinny strips (1" or less) that I couldn't use, but not too many. I would definitely order one again just because scraps are a really fun grab bag -- full of fabrics you would never have bought yourself, but are perfect for scrappy quilting. (I really loved the Asian fabric scraps with gold thread in them!)
