Nice string quilt.

Your quilt looks fantastic! I finished sewing the ending on mine tonight. Will take a pic tomorrow & post it. I emailed a pic of it to my niece & she loves it so I'm going to make one for her. You are right, it is very time consuming. My scrap bins don't seem to have any less scraps than when I started. LOL.

Like Tartan, I count a block as 2 triangles sewn into approximately an 8 X 8” square. My final quilt size will be determined by the number of triangles I was able to cut from my navy fabric. It was left from a baby quilt I made about 4 years ago. I cut 110 full triangles & with some careful piecing I managed to get 2 more for 112. From these I’ll get 56 blocks, so my quilt will be 7 blocks X 8. I haven’t been quilting much in the last few years, having spent crafting time knitting & crocheting, so I didn’t have too many strings to start this project. Instead, I raided my container of strips left-over from other sewing projects. So my triangles have some wider strips than those of you with many strings collected. I have 3 more blocks to make, & my problem now is I’m almost out of pieces long enough to make a full strip. My scrap container looks even fuller than when I started, but most are now short pieces. I have 6 triangles left to find strips to fit, then I can start laying out the blocks & rearranging them into a pleasing pattern of colors.
