Default String spin around block

.... that’s what I call it 😉 I’ve discovered this on FB and quilters just seem to go crazy about this block, so I had to try a sampler 😁
This one will go as a front panel on one of my bags as it was done scrappy but I might even try to make a table runner using that block !!!
Wish you all a good new week and happy quilting ♥️♥️♥️

It looks like a good scrap buster block and project. I’ll have to google it. Thanks for sharing.

Elfie2, I tried googling this block and well, I learned about string theory, how to spin seams, Pintrest photos and on and on, but not the block. Can you give us a source for the "How To" for this strip block?

As most of us, I have plenty of strings or potential strings and this is interesting to the eye. Would like to try it.

There is one partial seam...the first one and you finish as you add the 4th side. Not hard. I have jumped on the bandwagon!
