Very Nice! The most recent one that I did was using QAYG technique. I just cut batting and backing to approximate size I wanted and pieced the strings directly to the batting, then I squared up and used sashing to join the blocks.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566362[/ATTACH]I am making Bonnie Hunter's String-X quilt with my strings. I use recycled copier paper cut to the size block I want and a small stitch length. After the block is assembled, I just trim the strings to match the paper size and tear the paper off by folding it back on the seam line and then tearing. It works really well for me, and I have the satisfaction of reusing the waste paper.

I have recently used phone book pages with a smaller stitch, and torn off the paper after completing the square. It is getting really hard to find old phone books. Because of the internet, etc., they aren't as plentiful as they were in the "olden" days.
