    Great way to use those scraps! I really like the variation we see in the 'un-rolled roll' - interesting.

    Just one more great idea to beat the high cost of fabric and add a great deal of whimsy to our scrap quilts. Thank you for all sharing of ideas and I'm anxiously waiting for the finished product of justflyingin.

    I spray my paper backs with a light mist of water - let it soak in and gently pull it way so as not to stretch anything or pull out seams.

    That's a great way to create more fabric. I wonder how many yards of fabric you created for this border?

    WELL DONE

    Leave the paper on to stitch,just the same method as paper pieced blocks. this helps hold the shape together as there is bias,all ways as well as straight piecing. It's beautiful. so clever to make a scrappy border to go on a scrappy quilt.
    I love it-pegeth
