Who wouldn't at least I have reduced my scrappies for this quilt, well for this one anyway :thumbup:

Had a frustating time looking for 3" paper rolls!! Could find 2" at Staples etc. Then yesterday I found a pack of 6 in a warehouse in Birmingham for £5.50 yipee!! BUT even better, happened to look among a pile of 'shop soiled goods' and found 2 packs of 10 rolls for...... £2!!!!!! Wow am I a 'happy bunny'!!!!!!! Now to make a start on those scraps!! Watch this space!!!! QuiltingaddictUK love your quilt!! Sue Fish you are a star!! Thanks for the original Tutorial!!

Wow thanks so much ..so glad so many like this method and are giving it a try...you can do miles and miles now with all that paper!! ha ha

I'm having trouble finding the paper that tears easily and when they are wrapped in plastic at the store you cannot tell how easily they will tear. Any ideas? Special brands to try?

Can't you ask your local supermarkets for some, that's where I got mine.

I would like a wider border than the 3 inch paper would make. I think you could use old telephone book paper, newspaper or whatever and just glue stick the pieces together when you came to the end of one piece. It would probably be easier to tear off than the adding machine paper also. If you cut your newspaper the long way the strips would add up fast.

I have kept the paper from the bolt of EQS Super soft polyester wadding, they put a strip in their rolls of batting it is a super size being a tad over 4". Try your local LQS as I would bet that they only throw it out :idea:

all good ideas ..and fax paper

I found a 10 pack of 3 in x 128 ft rolls at Office Depot for $14.99 last week. I figured $1.49 per roll wasn't bad. I'll have enough to last my lifetime, I'm sure! LOL

I tried the piecing technique on adding machine tape and don't see the attraction. I'll test it out again and see if it gains more appeal.

Maybe what I'll do is use all the odd shapes, see if that works better. I have two huge bins of scraps and strips.
