It's a countertop height (36" tall and 4 ft long. Would like something a little longer though). It's handy for storing bolts of fabric underneath. I bought my cutting table from Overstock.com. I looked at their site recently and can no longer find my table.

I’ve completed my blocks but haven’t put them together. I’ve been distracted by the mystery #19 & I took a week-long motorcycle trip to northeast Texas. No room for a sewing machine on a bike! But all 56 blocks are finished. Now to put them together.

Finally got sewing for church Spring Fling sale done ( or rather, the sale is over!) I sew a few blocks while I'm embroidering something else. I think I've reached Hoarder status when it comes to scraps, I'm finding them tucked away everywhere.

Ok here is my completed flimsy it is 18 X 12 =216 string blocks and measures approx 72 X 96. So about a long twin I would say. Can get my lid on my string box tote but still full to the top. Never ending. Thanks for the Quilt along now to get it quilted.

Looking good! Did you press your seams to one side or open when you sewed them together? I haven't decided if I want to float mine or match the corners like you did.

I pressed open when I sewed the 18 across but when I sewed those rows together ( 12 rows down) I started opening them but half way thru I just pressed to one side.
