sorry this is not quilting.
This is definately an interesting way of using un-used t-shirt to make something useful.

A few years ago, one of the Canadian magazines had an article on stripping plastic grocery bags using the same method - any coloured sections were also left in the resulting 'yarn' and then it was knitted up to make tweedy-looking shopping bags, book bags, shoe bags, etc. Somewhere, in my useful-one-day-magazine-page stash - I think that the page has survived?? jennellh
Yeah, I was going to comment that the plastic bags probably could be done like this, also. I think I saw it somewhere, people call is "plarn" [plastic yarn]. I don't need more plastic bags, I don't need more yarn. Hmm, can we figure out ho to recycle time - seems i have a shortage-of-time issue.

You can actually do that with fleece too. It works awesome to make yarn! Just cut it from selvage to selvage and leave about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch on both sides uncut and then go back and cut every other one all the way on each side, just make sure you don't cut the same end on both sides, they should alternate. Pull it taught and it will stretch and roll up similar to the t-shirt yarn. I think it works best in about 3/4 wide strips.
