[QUOTE=coopah;5352856]Ditto. My string quilts were made before they had a name and following and books written about them. I sewed together leftover strips from other quilt projects, then cut them and stitched them back into a pattern I liked. Never have used a "base." Experiment and do what gives you the best resul
I have done both ways. If you use a muslim base, it makes the quilt very heavy. I no longer use a base however, I am not the most particular quilter either. sloppy you might say.....but, I like the end result...
