As most of us, I have plenty of strings or potential strings and this is interesting to the eye. Would like to try it.
Search „Spin me round quilt block“ on google and this shows you a large block to make a lap quilt 42 x 42“
To make it smaller a block of strips 9,5“ x 6,5“ is used then you measure 1,5“ on the top right and 1,5“ on the bottom left and draw a line where you cut the block in half (it’s a 45 degree angle) and sew it together like the large block shown in that pattern.
I have asked that lady who I originally got the pattern of on FB if I can share, if so I will send it on QB
Good luck !!!

In my quest to use scraps, that is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

Well this looks like my next scrappy quilt right here. This string block looks like a whole lot of fun and easy enough to do.

I like the idea of adding straight grain sashing between the blocks to control the blocks bias edges.

I like this a lot. Do you have a link to any instructions?

(I can see how it might be assembled, but instructions might prevent ripping out stitches...)
Sew a bunch of strips together, then sew them to the center square, one side, then another side, and another...?

How would this be enlarged to a 12 1/2" unfinished block?
