Handy Hangers

I strip-piece a lot of quilts. In order to keep my strips straight and organized, my husband drills holes in the tops of clothespins and strings the clothespins on a wire hanger. I add my strips to the clothespins in the order they'll be sewn, and then hang the wire hanger on the edge of my sewing table where it doesn't take up valuable sewing space.
