Very pretty string blocks Susie. I knew you could do it, so easy and fun, many ways to make them. Good for you.

They are addicting! I had so much fun making my string quilt top that I'm already planning another one!

Yeah, I have to agree about them being addicting.

A tip about that little triangular piece at the end of your blocks. How many of us have thrown away thousands of little triangles every time we snow-ball something. Those little triangles work great as the last "strip" on your string blocks.

Wow! These are wonderful! I did a bunch of these a couple of years ago... now where did I put them!? I have tons of scrapes and these look like a fun way to use them. Please show us the quilt when it's finished!

Very pretty. I love blues, mauves, purples and teals. Never thought of using peach or green with them

Happy to hear you had some fun. Your blocks are nice. Now for more fun with designing your quilt! I've made many string blocks. I use telephone book pages. The paper is thin and the old books get repurposed!
