Default First time for scrap strip blocks...whatcha think??
I had so many scraps, they were beginning to take up way too much room...so I remember my Momma sewing strips on any kind of paper she could find...phone books, sears catalogs, you name it...this is such a wonderful memory...watching her cut with scissors and sewing by hand...So I ordered the 10" papers from MSQC.... and I have cut, pressed, sewed and now I have 40 of these blocks done and they are addicting....I like what I see so far....

I use fabric instead of paper but do the same process. I love quilts made like this. They are absolutely stunning!
