I have never had any trouble with it transfering to my material....just my hands while I am cutting the squares out... but then it does get ironed after the first couple of strips are attached so maybe there is something to that ironing bit!! LOL

Uh, ohhh you can't stop at one. :wink: Let's see if I can work a link to my bug strings.

I just stumbled on this string quilt and really liked it.

Oh, I like yours too, pinecone :D Very colorful :D I think after Christmas I will have to try one of these :D

It is mindless sewing. Just grab a square of muslin and give it a whirl, you don't have to wait 'till after Christmas to do one block .... come on in, the water is fine. :wink:

oh yea!!!!!!!!! i made 3 scrappy quilts and thought, no more scraps for a while. wrong. barely made a dent :roll: :roll: :roll:

Oh, I love string and scrappy quilts. They are so comfy and homey. These all look great!

:wink: I saw an idea in a book you sew strips or strings together and make your fabric then cut them into diamond shapes, I suppose you could use other shapes, It's a easier way to the old antigue string quilts by Hand unless of course you want to do it the way My Great Granny does it but takes forever!!!!
