String Quilting





I am looking forward to Spring!  My sewing room is in an unheated uninsulated front porch.  So in the Winter months I set up my sewing space in the dining room.  It is a bit of a mess! 






My next quilting adventure is to make a String Quilt from my growing pile of fabric scraps.  It is a lot of fun.  Seams do not have to match and fabric pieces do not have to be any specific size. 



It will look like this.  I need 54 squares and have 35 finished. I think I will strip piece the back as well to use up more fabric.  Then I am going to treat myself and have it machine quilted.  I would like to have it finished by the end of the year. No more 5 year quilts for me!
