Diving into the 1-1/2" strip box
 

Didn't feel like being creative this weekend, but wanted to sew, so I pulled out that overflowing box of 1-1/2" strips and ended up making 6-1/2" blocks. I usually just do all scrappy colors with these thin strips, but I think I like this way better, and will do some more charity quilts like this one. Thanks for looking.

That's really fun! I like that!

I really like it Judy! It will appeal to most any age group too! Great work....as always :)

really a nice quilt

What a cheerful quilt!

Very nice....such a cheery scrappy for a little one.

Cute quilt, has a modern feel to it. Thanks for sharing and inspiring .

That's a happy quilt. Perfect for a charity quilt.

It's wonderful. You must be so happy how it turned out.

verty nice job!!!

sewing anything that doesn't take a lot of brain involvement is great, isn't it? like your quilt!

I like the tonal blocks. You're working it!

peace

Very nice quilt

Your quilt is so pretty and I love the way you separated the blocks with white sashing. You sure do keep busy sewing.

Oh, I like this a lot, very pretty!

To me I find a special elegance in the simpler patterns like this.

I agree, its a happy quilt. Great job.

Really kool quilt. Thanks for sharing and giving us ideas. BrendaK

That looks great!

Judy, really love this one!

Wow - that turned out lovely. I don't think I have that many different choices in my 1.5" strip box . . . but if I did I sure would be happy to have/give this end result. Very nice ~smile~

You always do such a lovely job!

What a great idea!

Yes, I echo BrendaK so thankful for all of you and your being so willing to share your ideas. What a beautiful quilt from leftovers. Sharon

Lovely. Great idea for scraps.

I really like how you did this. Great job!

Looks like you had a pattern and a jelly roll. Great job. Love it....

nicely done

A great idea to use up some of those strips! :)

Very nice scrap quilt!

another string quilt post that inspires me! thanks!

You have just created a pretty rainbow.

Very bright and pretty.

Wonderful and creative way to use up scraps. I really like this.

I really like that!

Love your color arrangement Judy. How did you end up with so many 1 1/2" strips? I have a bin of 2 1/2" pieces from bindings but 1 1/2 seems like an odd size. Just curious.

Beautiful quilt. I really like the way you used the color groups. That kind of quilting project should keep the scraps under control and make wonderful quilts for family members and/charity work.

I've used my stash for this same project - outlined each box in black. Nice job!

I really like this look....scrappy but organized. I think this is my favorite string quilt design ever. Thanks for sharing.
