Playing with strips and scraps, this is what I did today!
I have been saving strings for a long time, and also scrappy pieces that are not good for using in a block. Today I spent a lot of time playing with these and had fun doing it. This is my first try at string piecing and I'm sure those of you who are experienced could have advice for me.
I am posting here the results of my day in the strips and scraps. If you see anything that I need to do differently, give me a heads up please. I did not use foundations, and that might be a problem, but most of these pieces were too small for a regular strip quilt block I think.
Thanks in advance for all insights and beneficial suggestions... in the Navy these were called bennysuggs. I was not in the Navy, my DH was, but I worked as a nurse in Navy hospitals in both San Diego and Memphis.
BTW, most of these have not been trimmed and squared up. I don't think I'm done adding to them. LOL
