Now you need to make some wrapped clothesline baskets. Need 1/2 to 3/4 in. wide strips. Book "It's a Wrap" has good directions. I do not remember if she used spray adhesive or glue stick, but glue stick is easier on the lungs. I put my strips in a basket and they are ready for a scrappy basket. If I have 1" strips I put those in a drawer for the centers of the scrappy asterisk quilt I started. Search this site for the pattern.
Happy Scrapping :)
