If you have ever put granny squares together, it is the same principle. Just line the strips up, right sides together, and either sew or crochet them together. You may want to find a pattern on line for a mile-a-minute pattern that shows how this is done if you are still unsure, but it really is not difficult. Some of the online patterns will even show you how to put edgings on them or whatever finishing you may want. I have done some with fringe and some with plain edging. You can do this, have fun with them.

Great find. If the pieces are long enough you could use them as scarves (Christmas shopping done ). I have M-A-M patterns that I've done that with.
