Im off to tackle the basket of strings ive accumulated... For me String Blocks are a no fuss, no stress block- just grab a string and sew ! So when im in the mood to sew but not in the mood to cut Ill grab my basket and off I go....
Here's one i made for my big brother... He keeps hinting he wants another.. lol. We'll see if he gets another, I have to make the normal 'one or everyone' first before he can have seconds.. lol..
Pattern: None, just something i came up with
Fabrics: strings from the scrap strings basket
Quilting: all over meander
Size: aprox 10inch blocks (i think)

Scissor Queen....beautiful quilt!!!!
I made two of these. I don't remember exactly when I made them but it was at least 5 years ago. I pieced on newspaper squares and made half of the blocks all dark and half all white and then cut them on the diagonal and put them back together.

Lovely quilts I have made two string quilts and when I get the quilt done I am on I plan on making another one they
are so easy to make. I have a lot of strips of fabric to use up. You did a good job on your quilts.
