-   -   String Quilt WITHOUT Foundation Piecing? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/string-quilt-without-foundation-piecing-t162780.html)

I've made three-all with a foundation. They were easy to sew together that way after trimming. My foundation was used dryer sheets sewn together & cut to the size block I wanted. They finished out at about 9". My avatar is one of them.

I've done strip piecing without foundations. But I also use a lot of starch when pressing.

But I'm not sure about the random stripe you want to add-maybe starch it some more?

Yup. Just like I had said.

Further update - got it all put together and added a border to make it closer to the size I wanted and happily started to stipple quilt it on my Baby Lock and **CLUNK** the machine froze. I am freaking out just a little bit. OK. A lot. Need that machine for my business. So in an already jam packed day, I will be trotting it off for repairs. Since it's less than a year old, I hope it won't be too bad. *SIGH*

Need to hear the rest of the story-the fabric pieces sound wonderful-the sewing machine-not so wonderful!

Think I'm getting jealous of all your finds.. I hit some estate sales, and don't find much of anything.. I get the Newsday, and maybe I'm not looking in the right places..
