My husband often sits in my studio and "paper pieces" on adding machine rolls. He sews them together based on color.

Thank you Sue Fish for the reference back to your string quilts. I never knew they could be so beautiful. You have truly inspired me to make one.

I sometimes call my leftover pieces 'craps' too - especially when they are pieces that I cut wrong!

This is a brillant idea! And to think I've been bagging and giving my scraps to thrift shop. No more :)

This is a wonderful idea, thank you ladies.

Ok I have a question.. Why do people sew on paper?

Sue Fish 07-12-2012 06:23 AM

A foundation helps keep all those tiny pieces flat and often scraps are bias and that helps with that also
