Well, I've kind of started mine. I was cutting the binding for a quilt and decided I'd just continue cutting some of the leftover fabric into 2" strips. So, those are nicely cut and neatly folded in a container that's called 2" scraps for Boxes of Strings quilt. As I finish a quilt, I take care of the leftover fabric and batting. What's usable in another project gets cut and placed where it belongs. Anything else that's too small to use gets cut up into scraps for dog beds (I have a pop-up hamper lined with a trash bag that I scoop all the scraps into). Yesterday, I was doing binding for 4 Project Linus quilts.....cutting the scraps of fabric and batting.....today, my wrist is numb! So, I've got a brace on, but think I'd better do one quilt at a time instead of doing cutting for most of the day. Oh well, lessons learned!

Thank you for sharing a great tutorial.

Great looking, nice change from the string quilts we have been making. Thanks

Dang, I used a equilateral triangle ( 4.5" on all three sides) while waiting for official instructions. Thank goodness I have lots of strings.....

Oh my gosh...this is incredible. I'm hosting a Fabulous Freebie blog hop in August. Can I make this and refer to your post for the pattern on my blog??? Of course that being said, I'd love to have you participate. Here's the link with the info. http://moosestashquilting.blogspot.c...d-new-hop.html
