Mavisk- you're right. As I was cutting down the blocks I realized I have some small triangles that would be perfect for the ends.
I'm not a scrap saver so this is a new adventure for me. And I may change my thinking about scraps!

Love making strip/string quilts. I have so many strings, I could probably sew forever. Love your blocks; please show when finished.

Just read this and did "a whack on the head", and headed for my trash basket. I just finished making a whole bunch of these blocks and have a whole bunch of these triangles that I will be fishing out of basket. Thanks for this idea

They are fun to do. Love the colors you used. It will be so pretty when done. I find it interesting how such a simple strip block can be just as beautiful as some of the most intricate piecing.

SusieQOH I don't have strings for some reason I have bits so I made a crumb quilt. Your string quilt would be a perfect colour match for my front room. :-)

Hi Kelsie, I have no idea what a crumb quilt is. Not sure if I want to know. I already have way too many projects lined up
