Here we go! I can't wait to see all the creative unique quilt blocks!!
Here are most of this months blocks.
In order for my quilt top to be completed in October I need to make 27 blocks a month. My plan is to tear off the paper and sew them together in groups of 25. DONE!
My friend Linda gave me many of these 6" string blocks. I need 10 a month and will set them each month. Here's my layout.
My setting fabric is a dark cheddar.
If you do not have a blog or instagram and want to link up, feel free to email me a photo and I'll add it.
Wow! You are really stringing up a storm! LOVE the cheddar!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! Your strings look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be playing along but don't have a post to link up this month. Maybe next month I will.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to be able to comment and link up today! I am really enjoying these string blocks
ReplyDeleteOh I Love string quilts!! what fun to see all of these!
ReplyDeleteYour strings are singing...you go girl!
ReplyDeleteLove your two projects and how you've calculating what needs to be done to finish! It's wonderful to see what we can all do with strings and I certainly have enough ideas to keep me busy all year!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be making a lot of string blocks! I love both projects. The second one could be made larger and then cut to size [like 14" blocks or 20" lengths]? I put links for both my January blog posts about string quilts, let me know if I should take the 2nd one down, pls.
ReplyDeleteThese look great, Lori! I do adore the look of strings, just not so much the actual process. So I will enjoy the show!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the top set of blocks with the slash of red down the center.
These are awesome! I have my papers cut out, my fabrics organized and I will definitely have something by the next linkup! Love string quilts so much.:)
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see what the quilters have chosen to use for their blocks made with strings. I did nothing as I don't have much in the line of strings. But I am considering cutting some strips off of some of my stash pieces.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll with these two beautiful projects. So many strings, so little time, but once they are started they become very addictive, lol!
ReplyDeleteYour zig-zag string blocks will turn into a really pretty quilt! I enjoyed seeing the pretty quilt other are making too! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteGot my fabric and papers now need to get going:))
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful group of strings! Yours are so masculine! The others in the link are great too! I worked on some yesterday for a bit but no photos��
ReplyDeleteI love your dark cheddar for the setting. I've made a start and I've used muslin foundations. I'm going to be moving so I may fall behind but will enjoy watching everyone's progress!
ReplyDeleteEveryone's pictures look great. I have jumped in on this one yet. I did manage to finish 3 large quilts and a baby quilt this month. 3 were UFOs. That's why I can't take on the strings yet. I'll be following your progress.
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration! Thanks for hosting such a fun event.
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly a fun way to get a project done.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun Lori! I love what you have posted! I finished my string quilt and it is posted on Instagram (Patchalot) and Facebook. Feel free to post it if you like. I am excited to have finished it. It is now at the quilters ! Now you have given me ideas for more!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your strings! Beautiful music being made.
