I finished cutting up all of my fat qtrs for my quilt and this time I decided to cut up everything instead of throwing scraps in the bucket...in the bag is my left over scraps small strings. Now what to do with them. I don't think I want to make anything...wonder if the schools would be interested in them for the art classes?

Check with your school they may be able to use them. At one quilt event there was a class making bracelets by wrapping strings around wire. Another had small looms making purces. So there is a use for them.

I've seen a lot of websites that say to put fabric strings out. However, someone who worked with professional ornithologists posted on the QB years ago with a plea not to do it. Since then I've found a few corroborating websites, but still many that seem to have never heard of this issue. Since the reasoning seems sound, I'm for playing it safe.
