I really like your quilt. I always thought that the strips had to be the same width. Don't know why I thought that but I see now it is better with differents widths and not so much matching of seams. Now it's on my list to make one.

I have made several string quilts in just blues ....they look great!

my quilt mentor made many string quilts and one I particularly liked had a large triangle as 1/2 the block and then strings as the other half--brought in more of a consistency while still using lots of strings.

Right now I'm using strings to make large tote bags for foster care kids--sewing directly onto the bat (QAYG method), attaching handles on the outside, then doing the side seams and inserting the liner, which has pockets. Go quickly and give you a large bag (20x22)

I pinned my strips to a piece of long packing foam. That way I could arrange everything by color and see the big picture all in the same place. Here's a picture.

Gosh, I go out and buy fabric for my scrappy quilts. Sort of defeats the purpose. Oh well.

I iron vilene if it is all wrinkly and doesn't lay flat. You just have to not use heat. I turn my iron on for about 5 seconds. I iron the ironing board so I can judge the heat without touching the iron! If it is barely warm, I iron the vilene.
