Scrappy Christmas Strips top assembled

The blocks are finished and the top is assembled. Sometimes a string quilt is just what is needed to provide some sewing time with limited stress. There are 48 blocks in this top and each one is identical. Our Community Outreach group was given these "off cuts" of Christmas scraps and I wondered if they would work. I used a simple red centre and started sewing. Each block was cut at 10" and I used 1/2" seams to sew the blocks together. Piecefully, Joanne

Christmas Strings (either early or late?)

Our community outreach group was given outcuts from a Christmas line of fabric. I have wondered if I could make a string quilt with them and finally got going on them last week. I used a red centre string and then have used the same fabric in the same relative position in each block. I put the first four blocks down on the design floor to see how they would look. I am happy with the outcome. Just 44 blocks to go.  Joanne
