I cracked up when I read you used adding machine paper! I'm a bookkeeper and have gone through at least 4 rolls of tape in the last month and could have saved it to use at home. I keep thinking how many trees I have thrown away over the years. :lol: Always thought there should be another purpose for it. I will keep this in mind.

Leslie you sounded like me in your post. I keep reading and reading when I ought too get busy. I am afraid I will miss something important.

Terrific examples of string piecing- I agree with whoever said that you kept it calm and attractive. The use of the neutrals in between helps, I think. Love em all!

That is beautiful! I love using all of my left overs and you gave me some new ideas. I get great joy at finding ways to use every little piece. I even use the scraps that my friends want to toss!
I hope you wont mind but I printed your photos to share.
