We're making string blocks for our monthly challenge
at my guild, the Strip Piecers.
These blocks were inspired by my basement bathroom floor.
It evokes diagonal string blocks and horizontal strings.
So far we're liking this layout, with the borders being half the width
of the diagonal blocks.
The diagonal blocks are 6.5 inches unfinished,
sewn on a 6 inch foundation,
with half lights and half mediums.
This is meant to be a charity quilt for a women's shelter.

This is so pretty Brenda; I like the darker sashings; how wonderful that it will be a charity quilt--hugs, Julierose
I really like these.
Love the design! Great inspiration.
What a great challenge. I like the narrower dark sashing too. Joanne
Really like the inspiration for this one ... Okay to "steal" the idea?😀
Isn't it fun too find quilt inspiration in odd places? What a great string quilt. Love the value arrangements you made with this one.
HI Rosa,
We love this pretty pattern and the bright, cheerful colors. It was very creative of you to get inspiration from the design of the floor. That geometric pattern will make a lovely quilt. What a wonderful donation to charity.
Best wishes, and happy quilting
Marina and Daryl
One can find inspiration in the most unusual places! Bathroom floor! very nice!
Very pretty quilt :)
And gorgeous bathroom tiles!! I initially thought it was a Pojagi (Korean wrapping cloth).
