Right now I have a string quilt going with a red strip down the middle and then dark, light, dark strips on one side and light, dark, light on the other in black and white fabrics. I think it will be very striking. If not, it will be warm anyway. I would call it a controlled scrappy. It's fun to try new things. Usually I make string quilts out of whatever I pull out of the bag! The quilt police don't get any respect here!
