I have made string quilts, but not double sided. I like your idea.

Really like this!
What size were your strips? I have a ton of 2 1/2 " strips but I'm thinking they would be too wide?

Such a great and pretty use for scraps. You know another way to get rid of scraps?
Give them away to other quilters....then you can start over. I have made several scrap quilts
this way. They are loved by all.

I like it; I love making string quilts but it seems the container they are in - NEVER empties. They are related to bunnies I think; just keep multiplying.

Great quilt. I agree with you, scraps multiply!!!! However, I would rather sew with scraps than anything else!

Did you use batting? Quilt as you go? Love the reversible idea...

Thanks for all your kind comments. There’s no pattern. I did quilt as you go with 10 inch squares of fabric for the backing and various width strips on the front. Once the blocks were filled with strings, I squared them up to 9 1/2 inch blocks. Sashes finished at 1/2 inch.
