Yes, string blocks are addictive! I've got some blocks ready, but haven't made into a quilt yet. I love to do my string blocks raggy style.

Scraps quilts are so much fun to make. Looking good.

Yup, strings are usually strips that are less than 1.5 inches or that are cut wonky.

String quilt is on my 2012 list. I have a big bag of misc strips from the Orca Bay Mystery Quilt that I plan to use. Like your colors. Be sure to post a pic of your completed top. It should be spectacular.

Here it is. I just LOVE this method. I'm so excited. I have several patterns and colors planned. I think I'm going to make a wall hanging for my sewing room.
