Stone Soup Strings


These are the blocks I made with all those 'noodles' I made from the gifted fabrics from the participants of the Stone Soup Challenge.  They are all thinking 'soup', but my brain works another way.  I saw the Stone that starts it all.

Of course my su-purr-visor thru every step was right there when it came time to lay them all out.

I made 36 blocks, but then I have this thing about length v.s. width whether it is a wall hanging or a quilt.  So this is set 6 across and 5 down for a 30" x 35" size wallhanging.  I will do something with the other blocks.  Now I have to piece the back to get this sandwiched and quilted.

 There are a lot of string QALs going on across several social media right now.  A lot of patterns and great way to use up scraps.

    Your sashing really adds interest and dimension, like Debbie said.

    I love the dimension here, it really enhances the string blocks. I think you'll have a lot of folks playing with this idea! Me included.

    It's so cool! Did your guild provide the pattern or did you create it yourself? I love the 3 dimensional look.

    What a beautiful quilt! I like how your corners form little butterflies (or bow ties?) across the quilt.

    How cool. I'd never thought of using string blocks for a shadow box quilt.
