Mary Q C - I have been trying to resist pulling all those strips out of the garbage, but now that I know I could make a rug out of them, I may not be able to!!!! What needle and thread do you use to sew through the rope wrapped with fabric?
quilterpat- I was given the pattern for block of the month at my quilt guild (and was lucky enough to win 17 blocks!), but I believe it came from quilter's cache and is called mini bowtie.
Boston1954 - Great idea, but I would hate to lure the birds to my yard with the two cats I have!

I have another basket that weird shaped pieces go and those I use for a mini quilt.
Then all of those strips from squaring up your fabric. I wrap clothesline rope with the strips then zigzag around making either a rug or a basket.
I'll attach some pictures of wips.
You can make fun of me too. You will be in good company. You have beautiful trash!!!
