    Very pretty string quilt. I was at a small quilt show yesterday, and one of the ladies was demonstrating using dryer sheets for string quilts. She said she leaves them in the quilt.

    Very pretty Are you still going to do a scrappy? Dunster, thanks for the dryer sheet tip.....seems like that would take forever to collect....but, still, a good idea.

    Pretty quilt! I love the colors. I guess there is something wrong with me...I like tearing the paper off. haha Might have something to do with my attention span. I sew, then tear, then sew, then tear...haha

    I have collected so many patterns/ideas for string quilts but haven't made one yet. Yours is beautiful and may be the inspiration that I need! LOVE your colors too!
