Default String quilt

I make mine by sewing strips onto flannel squares - quilt as you go method, than when I have enough blocks I back it with whatever fabric I have in stash and make a rag quilt. I do not have a lot of scraps as I cut my fabric everything is evaluated to be either squares or strips, so I have it seperated right away. If you do fair amount of quilting you should have a lot of scraps. Finish with binding and you are ready to go here are the pictures of my string quilt. To make a pillow sham I have sewn strips on used drier sheets - than just squared them off, pieced and quuilted.
