I got some good suggestions. One of the ones that really spoke to me was doing a "wonky" log cabin. I love log cabin after making my first one this year. So I separated my strings out by color (again! why did I put them back in the box again?!)
So that is what I am working on. I have a lot of going on projects and nothing finished. But hopefully I will get some finished either this weekend or next. this weekend is iffy since my husband will be home this weekend :)
What do you do with your strings? Do you save them? do you pitch them?
I love the colors! Also, like the wonky log cabin blocks. Can't wait to see your spool quilt all put together. I know, I didn't get it done today. :( I promise, tomorrow. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have more I need to finish before I will be able to put it all together, I think I made enough spools, I just need to get the tops and sides put on now!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing out loud here because I tried to give my scraps away today! I swear they're going to take overy my sewing room. I do like the idea of sorting them by colors - haven't thought of that. If I had a Go! cutter I'd cut them all in 2 1/2" strips and throw the smaller bits away - maybe one of these days I'll get one. blessings, marlene
ReplyDeletewell if you need someone to take your scraps away I can do my part :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to keep them sorted by color, but I don't have enough storage :(
Mine are to small/weird to be able to get them into those size strips. my smallest strips I cut are 1.5", and then if it's larger on side or slightly smaller or odd cut I will put it in my strings box.
Thanks for the comment!
