First string quilt top

I've had these 5 1/2" string blocks sitting in my closet - I made them 3 years ago. Yesterday and today I put them together, and ended up with this top. I had a bunch of 2 1/2" strips that I used as a border - needed to use them up.

This will go to my guild's community service program, where someone else will sandwich it, quilt it, and give it to whomever they give their donated quilts to.


I have five gallon-sized zip bags full of strings, so I guess I need to get crackin' and make some more! 

Strings Galore!

I told Brenda when I signed up for this that I was "drowning in strings."  I have enough 5.5" blocks already made to make 2 king-sized quilts.  Now my string boxes are overflowing again, and I'm going to need to take a couple of days and make some more blocks.

I'll be donating the first two quilt tops to my guild's community service program - someone else can sandwich, quilt, and bind them!

Nice and neat
