Threads in a Row (Ready to Sew

Created for Project Quilting 9.5 A Stitich in Time challenge.

I'm still working with strings, so my first idea was to make spool blocks with strings for the thread.  As I started, I knew I wanted narrower strings, so I went to my collection of shreds.  Shreds are strips too skinny to be strings, typically less than 3/4" wide. Selvages go in with my shreds.  When I work with them I usually stitch them to a foundation leaving the edges raw. That is the approach I used here, creating spools of different colors and different types.
