Do you or a friend use dryer sheets? Instead of throwing those away, use them as the foundation for string quilts. Use the ones that are no longer scented or usable for softening. Also, a person can use phone book pages but, of course, that probably needs to be removed. I suppose the paper might "wash out" in time but I would think it best to remove.

Trailmix uses 1.5" & 2" & 2.5" and I think 3.5"block if I remember correctly. It is a free pattern on Allpeople Quilt. Here is a link to the pattern: http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-...ilts/trail-mix

Another pattern for small and bigger blocks is Barn Dance. It is a free pattern - the pdf is at the bottom of the page. Here is the link: https://justquiltin.wordpress.com/ab...arn-dance-qal/

I love Arkansas Crossroads! I make it with leftover binding. Since I only cut my binding at 2 1/4” my blocks are a little smaller usually the pieces are 2 1/2”. You’ll find many patterns to choose from.
