One of my friends at my quilt group gave me a bag of scraps.
All these strings of scraps that had been sewn together. They measure 2" wide and there is metres of them. They were left overs from her quilt and she didn't want to do anything with them.
I love the challenge.
I had this idea I would sew the strips in a log cabin fashion. The darks will be like a slithering snake. Going round and round. To where, nobody knows.

I am adding odd bits of left over neutrals to seperate the darks. These neutrals may not be the same widths. I am just using what I have on hand.
So far...
I'm happy with how these blocks are turning out.
I'm not sure how these will end up or what size the blocks will be.
I'll just keep sewing them until the scraps run out and that's the size the quilt top will be.
