Really big strings

I made dozens of string blocks last fall and winter

for a group string project in my group.

The requirements were piecing bright strings with no blacks

onto an 8.5 inch foundation, 

with a 1.5 inch white strip at the centre.

Together we made lots of blocks

enough for a 96 inch square quilt.

The woman who collected blocks put the together in groups of 16

and made a nine-patch with a dark green border and binding.

She quilted a loopy meander all over the quilt

and you can see the quilting better on the back,

which has a sunflower theme.

This was a great quilt to use up lots of narrow strings.

Most of my bits were 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
