    I figure about 90% of this quilt is from donated odds and ends.
    Tessagin, you are right on...it makes a great practice piece.
    ube, it'll start to make a dent.
    And yes there is no reason why larger widths can't be used...I plan on doing that myself...

    Have a good day...
    oksewglad, I finished my 2nd braid quilt and now with the smaller leftovers I will finish up the clam shell log cabin. Then I will start this beauty. Will keep posting. I am excited to do this one.

    I like that riot of color! You probably just got into your zone, right?

    Wow, that is amazing and I happen to have a box of narrow strips leftover from various projects. I might have to consider this . . .

    Zo, you got that right. This is a great way for those times when you want to sew but don't want to think.

    Like your scrappy - a great feeling when you can turn a bag of scraps into something pretty and useful.
