Fabulous post over on Stash Manicure! Love how the May Birdie block turned out... just lovely. Sounds like you had a lot of fun over the weekend! PS If I win the giveaway - do not send me scraps! Send me Starlight mints instead - lol.
Just come over from Mme Samm SM I don't have a huge amount of scraps - only been quilting since last August but going to have ago at making one of these. Thanks
I just read your post on Stach Manicure. I finished a string quilt a few days ago following the same technique, but struggled with ripping off the paper. Your idea is great! Only have a few scraps left, but think enough for a potholder!
I would love to win some scraps!! I've been wanting to start a string quilt, but am feeling like my scraps are a little lacking... this would definitely be my kick in the pants ;)
I love string quilts and have made several. To make sewing the blocks go twice as fast, after you place your first strip down the center you can sew strips to both sides before getting up to press. Cuts the trips to the ironing board in half!
Love your tutorial on Stash! Just in case some others read my comment, and have trouble with the paper under the strings, try the pages from your old phone book! They tear super easy! Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful scraps! Jacque in SC quiltnsrep(at)yahoo(dot)com
Just love your post. I too love string quilts. It's so much fun to use up those scraps. As an avid scrap collector myself, if we run into each other at a scrap sale, there's gonna be a shoving match I see!!! hahahaha
Found you on Stash Manicure... I love your blog too! I would love to win some scraps. Most of mine got accidentally tossed when we moved in March. Booo!!
I have never wanted to make a string quilt before, but after your tutorial i want to make one and i want to make it now. thanks for the tutorial. I would love your scraps
Read your tutorial at Stash Manicure. Makes paper piecing look easy. Thanks so much. And I would love to inherit your scraps and give this method a try.
