    I bought one of those 800 strip auctions on ebay...
    I thought it would great to get a bunch of strips to use.

    800?! Maybe I'm a little crazy? I hope they look good!

    So, post your ideas for using these up please.

    I did find a great coin pattern and kisses and hugs pattern on the Moda site.

    I also got some amazing yardage from a local store Fabrictown, while I'm on a business trip... WOW, I'm ready to try that OBW! I'll post a pic of the prints when I can...

    How about a brick pattern? Like staggered. Bonus-no matching seams.

    Chinese coin pattern would be fun.

    Right now I am using strips to stitch and flip on a large piece of batting to use as the quilted fabric for another purse. I can cut it out vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.

    Go for the Chinese Coins or the Bricks pattern. Each would show off all the
    fabrics.
