I started with 2inch squares as my leader and enders. Took almost a year because I quilt more than I piece. (I'm a longarmer) I stitched 4 dryer sheets together and trimmed them to 10 1/2 inch squares. My 2inch blocks were made in lengths of 10 squares. I added a 1inch strip of black on either side of the leader and ender strip sewn on the diagonal of the dryer sheet. Then I randomly stitched strips of various sizes in shades of blue to both sides ending with black on both sides. After all was done I trimmed down to 10 inch finished squares. The quilting was done edge to edge using a variegated thread.

I love the serenity of all the blues together, surrounded by the bright leaders and enders. Beautiful work.

I was just thinking the same thing!

Beautiful! This is my favorite string quilt!

Thank you for the links to the Bonnie Hunter info - for some reason they kept taking me to what looked like a website for an elementary school teacher! I gave up on the search for awhile until my quilting buddy pointed me into another direction.

Love the way you made this string quilt. Beautiful!
