Leader—ender

When I'm working on different blocks and want to take a break
between sections, I will use a #leader or ender-- or header/footer!
By the time you have finished one major top you have a second one began or
finished.  I'm working on two different leader/enders--one with 2.5" squares and
the other with 'strings'



The one with strings uses paper backing-- and that is recycled
as well!  I cut used paper to 8.5" square-- and sew
After I have a pile of squares on paper, I'll sit and tear--let
me tell you, it isn't always easy to pull paper off the back of
fabric.  It does help to shorten your stitch length, but I don't
want to keep changing my length between sewing.
Some people stitch on used dryer sheets— 
Maybe, you will try his method to use up all those small 
pieces and strings that accumulate in your bin.
