Design Wall Monday: Strings!

Yesterday I made forty 6″ string blocks, and I am in love with the colors.  No, I can’t tell a difference in my string baskets.  What is up with that?  but I like to sew string blocks, and I always feel I’ve created something from nothing.  I’m sashing them with Kona White, and using this nice gray and white Kaufman leaf print for the borders.  This will make a throw size, 50″ x 74″.

Are you playing with fabric today?

I’m linking up with Design Wall Monday at Patchwork Times.

I'm retired from teaching and trying to quilt daily. Reading, gardening, and cats are also important to me.

  1. No quilt playing today as the boys are here. Love your string blocks. LOL – you’re right the pile never seems to go down.

  2. Looks great! I’m working on a few things here and there today. Hope to show them off next week. 🙂

  3. You are amazing! Are you sure you are not a machine!?!
