For those who asked how it was made, it is just a string quilt on foundation. I cut squares of an old sheet to use as foundation. The only thing planned was the blue fabric that tied it together. I bought yards of it at a garage sale several years ago really cheap. I cut the blue into the same width strips, 2 inche, and started my blocks with that going through the center of the block on the diag. Then I just sewed different strips to each side until the foundation was covered. I squared the block trying to make sure the blue was centered as much as possible then sewed the blocks together.
Thanks for the explanation of how you did this. I usually have problem with string quilts like this because of the offset seams, but I think with the blue on the diagonal that makes the secondary block look would takes care of that. I have about two big trash bags of scraps I would like to get used up and have contemplated doing one similar to this. Yours is so pretty, I am going to start on one for myself. Don't know what I will use for the middle piece but surely I can come up with something.
