My mom used to use leaders and enders the same way you do. She kept sewing on the same piece basically forever.

Mom just about died laughing when she saw me searching the trash. That's when she explained it was just a piece of scrap fabric. It wasn't anything special. |
Bonnie Hunter has a great book which I bought. It is Adventures With Leaders And Enders. Im making the little bow tie blocks.

Thank you everyone! I see I'm going to have to get some scrap cutting done so I have enough lights and darks to make something organized out of the leaders and enders.
In the meantime, I have a lot of 2 1/2" strips, so I guess I can just get them started into a strip quilt while I figure out what comes next. |
