    I love the controlled scrappy so was thinking I should do that. Then I see the scrappy ones and I love those too. Hmmm.....what to do?

    Thanks! My DH and I came up with this rack to hold strips. It's mounted on the wall, and is kind of tough to get a good picture, but hopefully this will give you an idea. It was fun to put together ... like tinker toys! In between each pair of rods is a very thin piece of stiff plastic that allows the rods to swivel on the upright easily.

    here, the front set of rods is swiveled over so you can get to the back set.

    Cat: That's just genius. Have tried several ways to organize strips, including clothes hangers, rolling into buns but as soon as I try to use them all organization disappears and they are just jumbled together.

    There are lots of beautiful scrappies going on here. I've quit for today, as when I get aggravated with myself, it's not such a good thing to keep going. Cat-on-a-mac, that's a wonderful idea for strips! Doesn't take up much space,either. Do I see a trip to the US Patent office in your future?

    Leave it 9 until you see the last clue and you might be able to adjust that clue to make it fit nice.

    Marta: when I squint at your blocks, they just glow! Beautiful!

    Cathy and Angelia: the random scrappy look is great! so fun!

    Coopah: Thinking of you and your prep. I'm sure you'll be glad when that test is over; will be thinking of you and saying a prayer for peace for you tomorrow.

    I have one of my sets almost sewn and trimmed. The other set is underway, too. So fun!! Can't wait to see the last clue and how to put them together.
    Let's meet up in the club car for a glass of wine and some hors d'oeurves. (did I spell that right????)
