I wanted to link you all to 2 of our sew along partipants who’ve finished the patchwork ribbon.
A few people started the project and found it to be hard to deal with because of the raw edges and the fraying threads.
Linda and Simone came up with 2 alternative and creative ways to make the ribbon.
They inspired me and I thought they might inspire you to!
Glad you did this. I’ve been linking from flickr to the various posts on this project & it’s been very helpful!
Let me know if you find anymore, I’d be happy to add them!
Hi Lindsey, I got one alternative too. Took pics along the way and put together little tutorial: http://halabalastyle.blogspot.cz/2012/07/stuharibbon.html

Thank you Lindsey. These are excellent remedies for the ‘threads and fraying’. What an inspirational group this is.
Lovely blogs to follow about the ribbon . Thank you girls . I’ve had fun making my ribbon today . I embraced the fraying edges and pulled strips from my scraps bin ! I hope the Zakka sew along group has fun with this one . Think of the possibilities …Christmas ribbon , baby boy , baby girl ,teen , wedding kitchen … Have fun! It’s quick too !
I really enjoyed putting my ribbon together, not following a colour at all, just picking up what was under my fingers and adding it next….
