I use used dryer sheets. They work great. I either cut them down to a little over 6 inch square or leave them the size that they are. Then trim them up after piecing. Repurposes them and keeps them out of the land fill.

I found the website I was looking for and gave a link above. I bought some of the stabilizer but I have not used it yet. I thought they had some free patterns but they do not. I was able to find the book used on e-bay. I need to use up my scraps and scrappy quilts are my favorite. Link for the stabilizer: http://stripsandstrings.com/stabilizer

Can't you make string blocks without a foundation? I've just sewn strips together. You can even make crumb blocks without a foundation. I did use a foundation for crazy quilting. Then I used plain muslin.

I love that book! I haven't used the stabilizer they do--I do mine on paper--but the quilts in that book are ALL wonderful.
