Strings, Strings and More Strings

Strings, strings and more strings.   As you know I started operation clean up at the beginning of the month.

I decided to tackle the area know as "strings" .  I hate to show it, but they had gotten out of control.  (Which they are known to do.)  


Here is the "Before" picture.  I shouldn't have more than I can hold in the 3 drawer bin.  So the weeding process begun.  Here is how it looks now:


Still needs more work but I have cleaned out 2 drawers and I can shut them now.  I have the bin and the top drawer left to work on.  In the process of tossing strings, I made 34 string blocks.


I have a bunch of foundations cut and ready to go, so will continue to work on the blocks as I clean strings out.

What is your criteria as you go through them? Are you colorizing? weeding out? Love the finished blocks!

I'm weeding out the really thin ones, one inch or one and a fourth inch. And going back into the drawer based on size of strip. Really long on the bottom, middle size next and short on top. I'm also throwing away crumbs.
