foundation for strip quilt
I was reading on a blog about making strip quilts. One of the posters used fabric softener sheets for her foundation. She leaves them in. They are light, so would add almost no weight.
I have some used, leftover sheets (the large pet ones) I've been saving. I tried to press them, but it's not working. They stick to the iron if it's hot. They don't get flat with a cooler iron.
Suggestions?

I made a strip quilt with no foundation. I sewed the strips together starting g with a small triangle and they were on the diagonal And then squared them up. I made 90 and my friend made 90 and we shared 45 of them and each made a quilt. Fun project. Both came out so nice for both of us.

I found some really cheap fabric at the thrift store, it was part of a dust ruffle, the part that sits between the mattress and box spring. Lightweight and works great.
Can you ever get the smell (reek, to me) out of softener sheets?
