This week I decided to tackle my 2.5" strips. I am in the habit when making bindings, to take the left overs and keep them. I also when cutting strip for binding find that if I have just a bit of the fabric left over and it is enough to cut just one more strip I do that as well.
My method is this large glass jar. I just toss them into it. Sometimes there are even bags with 5 to even 7 matching strips in it. Those are the ones that I cut for a quilt, and then forgot I did that and cut more later when the quilt returned from my quilter. Over a period of time the jar has become very full.
And this is what I end up with, except the blue piles were much much lager than shown here.The end results, it measures 56" by 60" and a binding prepared to go with it. Off to my charity group and looks like those red, yellow, purple, green, turquoise and yes still some blue strips left over are next.Yes, definitely need to do something with the other colors and prints. And I am off to the Jelly Roll Races with 10 rows done and 40 to go.
