This is eye candy. Judging by the title of the thread I was expecting glow-in-the-dark neon colours.
Thanks, I asked my son (a teenager) if he were to give this quilt a name what would he call it and he replied "mum, its a bit psychedelic" so thats what I decided to call it. Theres nothing like asking a teenager!

Cute quilt, love the colorful fabrics. (When making string quilts its not necessary to use paper. Just use a pieces of muslin for a foundation. Saves time from removing all the paper. No mess)
I did think about using muslim, but decided to go the cheap route of using something I already had on hand, and newspaper was what I had, I was also a little concerned about the weight and quilting it if I used muslim and then also used minky to back it. It probably would not make any difference really. I used a paper cutter for cutting my paper blocks and it was pretty quick, it was a labour of love ripping the paper off, but I made sure my stitch length was short so it came off very easily, and in a weird way it was therepeutic ripping off all that paper!
