I love both sides but especially like the string side,postal packin' mama. Thanks for the photo, I am getting ready to make one as wanted to do the QAYG so this really helps me visualize. I made a rag quilt that was so heavy (queen) that it started falling apart in the washer so I cut it all apart to reuse as a scrap quilt. Something I learned, using designer sheets(especially vintage) to make a large rag quilt with flannel too heavy! I do have a question, do you get a "bump" where the sashing joins the blocks?
