Im off to tackle the basket of strings ive accumulated... For me String Blocks are a no fuss, no stress block- just grab a string and sew ! So when im in the mood to sew but not in the mood to cut Ill grab my basket and off I go....

Here's one i made for my big brother... He keeps hinting he wants another.. lol. We'll see if he gets another, I have to make the normal 'one or everyone' first before he can have seconds.. lol..

Pattern: None, just something i came up with
Fabrics: strings from the scrap strings basket
Quilting: all over meander
Size: aprox 10inch blocks (i think)

I made two of these. I don't remember exactly when I made them but it was at least 5 years ago. I pieced on newspaper squares and made half of the blocks all dark and half all white and then cut them on the diagonal and put them back together.

Oh, I LOVE this thread. I'd love to see more with pictures of certain types of quilts. Just the subject line "String Quilts" made me open it :) :)

Those first three are gorgeous. I never thought of doing them on newspaper!!!! Doesn't it take a long time to pull out all the newspaper strips though? I usually get a sheet at Goodwill and cut it up and use that, then use flannel for batting so it's not so heavy. Just beautiful job, ladies :) First one of mine was for my granddaughter. I am currently working on one in varied blues for summer.

I love them all.. I can't wait until I can do one.. I'm in the middle of five scrap quilts before.. Imagine making five of the same quilt, but no real pattern?

I just made two string blocks. I love them. They are soooooo easy. I am planning on making a quilt. I love looking at all the different designs you all have made with yours. I have tons of 2 1/2" scraps so I won't have to do any cutting for it. I think that will be my next project.
