I don't look to make anything other than quilts, but sometimes little projects just sneak up and grab me. I had been rummaging through a box of Kaffe scraps given to me (super!) and a lot of the strips were under 1 1/2". I had tried some Jack's Chain blocks and was using the strips for the nine patches, but I balked on it. More on that another time.
So, in my internet searches for scraps usage, I found tutorials for twine and rope bowls. I tried both and they are both fun. The Rope bowl Youtube from the UK where you use both hands to twist is the superior way to go. Whenever I have a spare 15 min or so, I pull out the box of strips and go twisting away. I never thought I could sew a rope bowl, but my trusty Singer 401 just claws right through it perfectly.

| Isn't the twine full of lovely colors? I just keep making it and will figure how to use it later. |

I love that colorful twine!
Definitely a nice start with your rope bowl! This is something I've never made, I doubt I would have the patience. you obviously do and you have such a beautiful helper!! You scored well with the Featherweight Linda.
Oh my, that looks magnificent. Very good use of the fabric strips.
Robe bowls and coaster are so much fun to make. It's one of those projects that I start and wind up making dozens.
Oh thats fun!!!
