Hi again Cuties, I have a trivia...who was the Cutie that showed us how to take small fabric pieces and sew to cash register tape?



I started doing this with small scrap pieces. I have them just laid out framing up some large squares. My intention is to make an I Spy quilt for a child to use while traveling. It will relive boredom of an interstate and keep them from maybe saying,”Are we there yet?”-😉😂🤣


I spy a chicken leg. Can you find it? If so, don’t spoil it for others. Just For fun, comment you found it. Pm me with WHERE you see it.


Just thought it would be a little fun to play ourselves, but sadly no prizes😩

Another lovely quilt in the making. I was think of doing the same style of quilt but changed my mind and doing the plan blocks scrap, salvages and pieces of fabric. Happy Stitching Brenda Lea :-)

Looks great! What about removing the machine tape, is there an easy way to do it? Love the idea.

The tape removal is very easy for me. I gave a strip to my husband to remove while sitting there watching re-runs. It took him longer so I didn’t bring him anymore. 😉thank you

Great idea for using the strips. The different color centers will make it even more interesting

Just laid them out for photo, not sure what squares or layout I will do but probably something similar.

toogie by toogie 08 Oct 2020

Do you take the paper off before you stitch to something else or leave on till you've finished the top?

Here's the car game our grandfather taught us, but no pretty quilt and no prizes. You counted all the goats, mules and donkeys you could see outside your side of the car, but every time there was a graveyard on your side, you lost all your goats, mules and donkeys. At the end of our trip, Papa paid 10 cents per animal to the winner. It was his contribution to the sanity of our parents. He called the game Graveyard. He had 18 grandchildren, but our family traveled the most.

It was mentioned at the link below. I have quite a few strips ready to use and was thinking of alternating them with plain white, but I like your squares better.

These are the 10 inch squares. I have more child related squares in the 6 1/2 inch size. I also thought of recycling all blue jeans for the large squares. Drawback is blue jeans make such a heavy quilt.
Blue jeans would make a good picnic quilt though, no batting, just backing.

I forgot to say thank you for finding who the Cutie was that first informed us of this technique. I thought it may have been Angie but wasn’t sure.
