Try doing a spider web pattern for something different. Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville has a great tutorial . really like your strip quilt, very colorful. The bits of black add a nice touch of brilliance.

I like how colorful your string quilt is... especially with the black center strip. I have a whole bin of strip pieces and make a 10 inch block from time to time but I, too, use cheap lightweight muslin for my foundation.

I have made two string quilts without any foundation. One of them I starched the material and the other one I just sewed by strips together-----by hand. Easy peasy. I had not problem with the strips. I squared them up and sewed the squares together.

I have used dry sheets. Once they are used I just press them and they are ready to go. Very light weight.

I took a class and we were told to buy this thin stuff like dryer sheets at joanns, it works great. Comes on a roll and the yardage is pretty cheap.

I use just lined school paper.

I began using paper but hated all the time spent removing it even though with small stitches it comes out easily. Then I used cheap muslin but have been using a product called Easy Pattern the past few years and like it much better. Easy Pattern is used to transfer multiple sized patterns. It is a non woven similar to interfacing You can leave it in the finished quilt and it is less than half the weight of muslin. And less expensive than muslin too! Cut the Easy Pattern a bit larger than finished size and trim to size when fully covered. My personal favorite and we use it all the time to make tons of Quilts of Valor string blocks.

Well done...my scraps multiply like that too. I do mine on phone book pages.

I really like your string quilt and it looks like everyone has different ways of making one. I am considering making one also and will take in all of the ways the members have suggested for foundation. It is true----the scraps grow overnight!
