String Bean Quilt~

It looks like what we call a "kapakahi" quilt over here. It's a "quilt as you go" or reversible type of quilt where you sew the scraps onto the batting and backing at the same time and then put it together with sashing.

I think it looks like you would place a triangle in the middle of a foundation piece, then use the sew and flip method as in string quilts. Rather than using a center strip, place the triangle down, sew a strip (RST), flip open. Do the 2nd side, then the 3rd side; continue on starting back at the first side until you have covered your foundation.

You don't need to to QAYG, but you could use a fine muslin, just start with a triangle and work around it like log cabin, the only problem is you would have to cut your strips to length before adding to speed up the process otherwise you will have to fold back the muslin at every row to trim up the ends, I didn't use any backing, have a look how I do the crumb blocks in the tutorial section :D
