Guess this could be called a "string along". LOL

Jane I think that is a terrific idea.
I'm committed to a watermelon quilt top but I bet I could squeeze in some of these blocks so I don't get so bored with the other, as I have lots and lots of strips and strings already cut. I also have lots of black.
Great idea!!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas all.

Here is my starting point. Now to iron and sort.

I’m going to follow but not start right away. I haven’t been quilting long so don’t have a lot of scraps plus I’m working on a project that’s almost possessed me. I’m very focused on this quilt & just want to work on it right now.

I’m going to join in, but not until I get back to the sewing room with all the strips precut into bins. LOL, could probably make 3 quilts with no problem at all. It really seems like a fun project to fit in around finishing UFO’s. Although, I don’t know, may need to buy a dark for the triangles. Will see when we get back to the stash.

Your pattern is a real hit!!!!

Fantastic! I have already made 4 blocks by following Angelina's tutorial. Where do we go to follow along with the quilt along? What a fun idea:thumbup:

I will be reading this post for sure even if I can't start this quilt just now. I am working (very slowly) on 2 reversible quilts right now, plus, I do not have enough strings yet. I am so interested in this pattern but holding my hands in my back to make sure they do not start another quilt before I finish those that are in progress..

Yesterday I managed to cut my 180 (4 1/2” X 8 1/2” ) foundations and all 180 center triangles. I might manage to make a couple blocks today. I really need to get the quilt that’s loaded up quilted and I have a hockey quilt prepped ( jerseys all deconstructed) ready to start quilt construction— those two have to come before really diving too far into this project. But I can take the time to put one or two together & see how it goes. :)

Please count me in too. Made the triangle template and made one block to see how it would go. Already have my strings, a year or so ago I got fed up (read overrun) with my scrap problem so I took the time to just cut them into strips, didn't really measure just eyeball cut. I had already sorted all scraps by color so keeping the strings/strips color coordinated was easy. I just stuffed them into zippered bags.
( I have a tiny OCD problem about some things). Have cut all but 20 or so of the 8.5 x 4.5 foundations, and when I get the triangles cut, watch out.
