I love making string quilt tops. I use full size paper towels for my foundation, I put a white strip in the center to make a diamond design with the blocks. I keep my scraps in two big bins in no particular color order. I just like to make sure I get as much color in a block as I can. Once it is sewed I cut the block down to a 10" and use 49 of these to make a top, then I put a row of string blocks in the center of the back for interest. I like to buy fun fabric for the back, I made one with a zebra print backing last year that I love. Have fun making string quilts.
