I have purchased several old quilts over the years, some in good shape, others not so good. I decided to use a not so good one for a little project. I cut the quilt, which I forgot to get a picture of, into 1/2" strips and started making fabric balls.
I have a new appreciation for anyone that has made very many of these. It took me a little bit to figure out a good technique for making these. Wrapping them as tight as I could was the trick. That and a couple of drops of hot glue to secure the loose ends.
The biggest problem I had was keeping the dog away from them - he thought I was making him some toys.
