Bust Through Your Scrappy Strips

If you’re like me, your scrappy strips tend to multiply quickly. It’s a good thing I love string quilts. There are so many options. So I never get boarded busting through my scrappy strips.

For my YouTube video this week I’m sharing a favorite of mine. I use old dryer sheets as foundation. I don’t have as many of them as I did when my kids were home. But my neighbors are more than willing to share theirs. They make these great rectangular blocks.

And when you make a bunch of those. Don’t worry you won’t run out of strips. At least I never have. You end up with a happy string quilt. Make sure to share yours with me. I’d love to see how you busted through your scrappy strips.
