Make beautiful blocks from throw away fabrics. Let me show you how.
Can't throw it away and I will not lie! Been teaching my grandchildren to sew using strings. The quilt police might object, but I often get donation fabric, so I will square the poly cotton and use for string projects. Lightweight and not in a landfill. See?! I really can't throw it out 😅
Thank you so much for showing examples of the finished blocks at the beginning of your video! As a visual person, it drives me up a wall to watch someone piecing a pattern without giving me any reference.
Love string blocks....so 😊. My tip is to keep your short pieces, less than 5 inches in a pile, they are useful when you get towards the corners
I love string blocks…I did one on dryer sheets with Christmas fabric for my sister. I even big stitched it. Need to do more. Your color placement makes the blocks really gorgeous. Funny side note, I die a dozen all going the same way before I realized I needed to do the opposite angle. Wish I had seen your hint at the beginning.
I love string blocks! I try to make them as obnoxious as possible!
Love the title. I have been string quilting since the 80s.
My mottos is pretty much always that it will all more out in the end! Great walkthrough of the string block!
I just love your attitude. Quilting should be fun.
Nice demonstration! I have several old telephone books that I had saved for this very project! Haven't started yet but I have the foundation. Way back in the 1970's I remember my Grandma sewing strips on pages she had torn out of Sears, Roebuck and Company catalogs.
For easy tear away paper, I buy kids coloring books from dollar tree. It's basically newspaper material
Great use of strings - simply lovely quilt. I throw out those tiny triangles, but the strips are safely sorted by color. I will be making this!
I love this method. Amy, I enjoy that you don't sweat the small stuff. Thanks again for the smile and the warm, fuzzy joy you enfuse in your work. 🎶💐💖🫂
What a philosophy on life: “it doesn’t matter (the little things) it all works out in the end”❤😊👍❤
I use all of one color on one side of string blocks and a background fabric on the other side when making squares. I need to try doing diamonds for a change of pace it was so soothing watching you sew those blocks.
Beautiful blocks. I love stringblocks too.
A very enjoyable project and unstuffy attitude! Thankyou!
Thanks Amy , I love your style and breezy manner. I'm teaching my two granddaughters ages 11 & 9 to sew using this technique because it is so forgiving and easy. So far, they have made a 15" pillow that they just love and they are so proud! Our time is limited so something fun and no stress about perfect seams is perfect.
Hi Amy! Thank you for this tutorial on 60 degree string blocks. I haven't done this angle. Just 45 degrees. I made my self a cardboard template at 9.5 inches. This way I don't have to use paper. My first string quilt I sewed the strings on muslin but it got rather heavy. This is lovely however. Marion in Oregon.
Such a fun project and it is going to be so pretty. Thanks for sharing………………..
