    String blocks are therapeutic, fun, and addicting! I’ve lost count of how many I’ve made. I use a product called Pattern Ease or Easy Pattern for foundation. It can be left in and is light weight. Have fun making those blocks!

    I leave the paper in if it is a wall quilt too, adds body and I'll never wash them anyway.

    Here is a picture of one I made long ago. I put it on the sofa as my great grand isn't always the neatest on furniture. It is very heavy, very soft, and well used. I have patched it up several times.
