Here are my strips n' strings that I pieced on 81/2" x 2 1/2" pieces of telephone book papers. They all decided to get together this week and play nicely.
;--)))
I saw the pattern for "Dancing Nine Patches" and decided that I would use my UFO (unfinished opus) to make huge 18" blocks...Four together make one huge block. I have enough left to make 3 more and will need to sew more scraps and strings (YAY!!) on papers to make 2 more after that....gettin' rid of those scraps!!
Bonnie Hunter had a video about this method and I loved it right away--hmmm
perhaps because seam allowances for piecing don't matter.....and you all are, I am sure, tired hearing about my shenanagans with that nasty 1/4" thingey.
ANYHOO................
Can you find Santa---can you find a sailboat, can you find a butterfly??????
I guess this has turned into an "I SPY" string quilt.....
What fun!!
Go to this blog to see a lot of neat string projects!

I love where you are going with this quilt!! I did find myself playing eye spy, I saw cactuses, a saliboat, and I found the butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteThis will make a great quilt. I know my grandkids would have a blast checking out all the fabrics.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting prints. I love the concept, too. It'd be fun to just empty the crumb bags. Thanks for sharing.
