There aren't any rules. You could use crazy quilt shapes if you didn't like the piano key setup. I have a ton of odd shapes too and I think a crazy quilt style border would be charming on a scrap quilt.

I can't thank you enough Sue Fish for this tip, my Patchwork Class ladies and I love it and now do this method a lot on most of our quilts and the effect when using chosen colours is fab as you can see here! http://inlinethumb21.webshots.com/45...425x425Q85.jpg |
I love this idea. Sorry to sound like a dummy but how do you bookmark? FayZ

Scroll to top of page and you will see just at the top of the topic 3 tabs, the left one says "Bookmark" click on that give it a name and et voila it's in your "My Bookmarks" |
I wanted a wider strip than the adding machine tape would make so I cut up an old phone book into strips and used those. Also figured out that the fabric strips were easier to keep straight as I could use the lines of print on the phone book paper to align them. It's also much easier to tear off.
