Red Basketweave Strings

I've been cleaning out a UFO storage tub, and came across this top.  I sewed it a while ago as a sample for a guild activity that didn't happen, and then stored it away and forgot about it.  Just a simple basketweave block arrangement, but red always makes me smile. 

I don't use foundations for these blocks, since they're not being pieced on the diagonal.  I just sew enough strings together to cut a large enough square. 

Now that it's out in the light of day again, I'll add it to my To-Be-Quilted stack.

Hello

 

Just stopping by to share a couple of string quilts I finished this year.  The lighter blue/green quilt was completed in late spring, and the darker one just recently.  Both have been donated to my guild for use as comfort quilts.

 

Thank you for your string inspirations this year.  I'm hoping to be much more productive in 2015. 

 

Have a joyful holiday season!
