Do you take your strings randomly?

I love how your blocks are coming together! Is that a dark chocolate brown in the center??? Will they all be the same center?<br /><br />Are they the standard 9.5" size as what the group is doing or did you change that also LOL The reason I ask is if I have enough lights I would like to make some but I doubt I would have enough for a whole top and could mail them to you perhaps???? ~Bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-61080634063951457482007-01-09T12:19:00.000-07:002007-01-09T12:19:00.000-07:00I'm not a big fan of string quilts, but I have to ...I'm not a big fan of string quilts, but I have to tell you, Elaine, that I LOVE this setting!! I must save this picture cause I might actually enjoy making one with a light side and a dark side. Thanks sooo much for sharing the pictures of this. If you really really decide you don't like it, I will be more than happy to provide you with my snail mail addy!!!

And you can even do it while you drink wine because it doesn't matter if the lines are crooked! :)Laurie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12230672100645122747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-86236976928229714522007-01-09T05:55:00.000-07:002007-01-09T05:55:00.000-07:00Oooh, I likey!

In order to have blocks that would work together we had to have some guidelines for the ones that will be sent in but half the fun is watching what people who are off working on their own are coming up with.

You DO see things you don't notice in person. Plus, I find it helps me remember placement, when I've had to spread something out on the living room floor then run back to the sewing room. Many times I've worked from a photo I took and then printed on the computer. You're on the right track, you rebel, you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
