If you love it, raise your hand ~

To music: 

If  you love it and you want it, raise your hand. 
If you love it and you want it, raise your hand.
If you love it and you want it and can't help that you covet.
If you love it and you want it, raise your hand.

Okay, I felt the same way when I saw this adorable string happy pattern at Orange Dot Quilts.   Orange Dot calls this one Beads On A String.  Since I'm in the scrap busting mood, this pattern just fit the bill to help me out.   Except I didn't use the pattern! Different size strips were foundation paper pieced on Office Depot end of roll paper purchased for pennies.  The ream comes in 500 sheets of  8 1/2" x 11".  So, after all 15 sheets were covered with my fabric strips and trimmed down to size, I cut the 1 1/2" strip off each one for my strings to hold all the beads together.  Get it?  So fun to make do and use what's on hand.   



Foundation Paper Pieced Beads - a work in progress

Both the front and the pieced back  makes me raise my hand.....while singing a happy tune. 

And it all started with strings from the scrap pile.
