I've been wanting to make a Scrappy String Quilt for quite some time. I pulled out my Big Bag of Beautiful Bindings and figured I would never use those little pieces of binding as binding again so decided they were perfect for a string quilt. I've been using bits and pieces of squares of fabric also for the corners. After cutting 9 inch muslin squares..........
Sewing strips onto the muslin squares at a diagonal.......
It feels so good to regularly get back down in my sewing room and create!
Happy Quilting! Lynda

A great way of getting rid of scraps. Good luck with your goal of two blocks a day. That way the quilt will grow in no time.
I love the mindless sewing of a string quilt, yours is looking good! I hope you can keep your goal. My only complaint to the strings is that they always seem so messy, so it helps to have a box or a basket to push it all into. But as far as not doing some selection, I'm with you. I call it controlled chaos, 'cuz I just won't be happy with it if the colors are not separated enough, lol ~ :-}pokey
