Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the strings! I've made several projects by sewing strings together and then cutting them into 2 1/2 inch strips. Then those 2 1/2 inch strips can be used in normal blocks that call for them. I've used them in churn dash blocks, as square in square frames, sashing between blocks, and even the 'X' in the X block. This pinwheel was fun! I was looking for something different!
