These are great production quilts to make, and we make them quite often at the Workday at the Post ... one of the ideas we came up with was to select a common color that went through the center of each block ... and then the sashing ... it really makes that strip quilt look grand.
One of the way we produce these string quilts is to cut old sheets or fabric that is too light to be in a quilt into 10.5 to 11 inches square and then sew these stings on to the "foundation" ... with that added weight, we are able to just use a flannel sheet for the inside, add a backing, and you have a great quilt that the most beginner quilter can participate in the production ...
That brown quilt is stunning, I agree! <wave>
