I found this tutorial http://fredashive.blogspot.com/2011/02/scraptacular-tutorial-for-family.html and that is what I am saving them for. I also was cutting down pieces for a ticker tape quilt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332278945204640079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333305997336514656.post-40357500253488049682011-02-19T09:31:51.365-06:002011-02-19T09:31:51.365-06:00That will make an awesome string quilt.
