One of the way we produce these string quilts is to cut old sheets or fabric that is too light to be in a quilt into 10.5 to 11 inches square and then sew these stings on to the "foundation" ... with that added weight, we are able to just use a flannel sheet for the inside, add a backing, and you have a great quilt that the most beginner quilter can participate in the production ...
That brown quilt is stunning, I agree! <wave>

These strip quilts are just so appealing to me. I must make one of them. Yours are beautiful!

Omak, yes, I really like the look of the sashing, I see a co-ordinated strippy quilt in my future... :mrgreen:

I know what you mean I have so many quilts I want to make and so little time to make them. I guarantee you if you make one of these strip quilts, you'll make another they are so fun to do. Thank you Quiltville!!!
