Something from Nothing - a String Quilt

mmm not bad, considering the bin of strings I started with!  Of course, the bin is still full.  The blocks are sewn on phone book pages.  These blocks are 7.25 in. unfinished.  I don't mind removing the paper at all - it's a pleasant, mindless project.

Some of the blocks were getting kinda murky and dull-looking so I started sewing in some skinny, jazzy bright colors on the dark side.  Problem solved.

  3. I like way the light strings emphasize the dark ones. (Or vice versa!)

  6. The little pops of color look great in these blocks! Why is it that strings seem to multiply?? My bins are full again haha!

  7. I love string quilts and have 6 drawers devoted to various colors of strips. It just seems hard to get to making them because of too many other projects! What a dilemma! I will get back to them, though, I'm sure.
