Wish I had thought to get a picture of the bag, this might have been more impressive if you could see what I started with!
 |
| 24 (Twenty Four!) String blocks. Lucky for me I had a ton of 8 1/2 inch phone book pages already cut out. |
 |
| This is ALL the left over strips- Seriously ALL of it. Am I good or what? |
 |
| I tore the paper off before I ironed and resized the blocks. Left the pieces out to long and the cat found them. OK pick them up again- twice. |
 |
| Love my Studio die cutter. The blocks were sub-cut into 2 1/2" strips Half were cut with the diagonal pointing left the other half pointing right. I did not worry about squaring up the blocks before the sub-cut. |
 |
| I knew I wanted to use the new strips as a border on an existing work in progress. I auditioned a couple of tops and settled on this one. More scrappy pieces that Dawn had given me from a friend of hers years ago. |
 |
| Strips were 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 I had considered a braid look but changed my mind and went for a little scrappier look. |
 |
| Thrown on the floor to check for missed seams. Looks good! |
 |
| Side ways picture of top hanging. There is a little wiggle to it But I am sure it will all quilt out--ha ha |
 |
| Love this scrappy border- Thanks again Dawn for thinking of me and sharing your scrappy finds! |
