How many quilt blocks are in a bag of strings?
 

I have been making many string quilts lately and have been gifted with bags of strings from a few of my guild members.

As I sorted them by colors into smaller bags, I came across quite a large number of floral , pastel and neutral strings that appeared to have been cut together. They were stacked neatly and I have enough to pack a medium sized zip lock bag full.

My challenge for myself is to sew these into 6 1/2 inch string blocks. I will then decide how to set them once I see how many I end up with.

Here they are out of the bag and in a box lid. [ATTACH=CONFIG]596140[/ATTACH]

It will be interesting to see how many blocks are actually in this bag.

Only quilters wonder about things like this....but I know I am not the only one!

Those are going to make a pretty quilt!

I will guess about 3 quilts. Scraps go farther than you think. That is why my scrap box is never empty.....I can't seem to use them all.

Some pretty quilts in there waiting to emerge. Enjoy sewing them.

Have fun. I love sewing these.

They multiply when you aren’t looking!

such pretty floral pastels. needs a touch of lace some where.

Looks like a real fun challenge. Are you using paper backing or some sort of light fabric like muslin for your foundation?
Just curious as I am going thru my scraps and can't decide if I want to do paper or muslin. If I use muslin, will I still use a light batting? Sounds like you have made many string quilts so you may have some good advice for me.

Wow! Lucky you! You will have great fun with all these beautiful fabrics! Enjoy and send us pictures!
