A few more blocks done. I am at the bottom of my design wall/tablecloth so I will start a new row. I haven't decided on a size yet but will keep making blocks until I run out of scraps.

Good one Conchalea! :D

As per Tartan's question about the center fabrics, I have a good way to see value only. Squint! Look at the above picture and squint til all you can see is the dark/light value, not color so much. Then you will see that all of the center fabrics are lights. I'd use all of them as lights. Some diversity is good and makes an interesting quilt, just as long as the value lines are not crossed. I learned to squint to discern dark/light values from a wonderful art teacher I had in high school and it's served me all my life. |
I now have a grand total of 2 triangle blocks. LOL. I’ve spent so much time on Lattice Garden that my Box of Strings has languished. I also have many more dark strings than light, so that will be a limiting factor for a while. I have a feeling this will be a long-term project for me.

Mine might cover Canada and the US to use all of my strings Have made 86 blocks and my string tub is still hard to get the lid on. Right now I am planning on a twin size and would need 212 blocks.

So here is a picture of mine so far (5 rows x 18 blocks wide ) Shooting for a twin size I think.
Have a happy scrappy sewing day !! [ATTACH=CONFIG]592725[/ATTACH] |
Christine, that is coming along beautifully!!!

Frustrated, your blocks look great! I worked on mine today & I've sewn some of the triangle blocks together. I have 11 triangles surrounded by strips at this point. I can finally see the pattern appearing & it’s looking the way I envisioned. I haven’t taken the time to calculate what size quilt I’ll make, or how many blocks I’ll need. I didn’t want to frighten myself!

Can't wait to see yours Conchalea. I have about 10 blocks made for the next row. May be a little while working on another quilt that the next clue got released on. Will use this string quilt as my between project. Wanted to put a few rows together to see how I like it. I do love it :thumbup:
