Here’s a preview of week 3 of FPPFTT, a nice, gentle introduction to strings, and the perfect way to use up trimmings from all sorts of projects (this is just some of the leftovers from my Stained QAL quilt for example):
I’ve also been asked by one reader if I’ll be showing how to use up all these orphans we’re creating, so I will try and create some more finished items for you shortly. I will also link up to any projects any of you complete and post in the Flickr group, so now’s your chance to shine :o)
Ooh looking forward to these xxx
I've had to take a leap into the paper piecing without trying your wonderful instructions because this months bee block called for it, now I have my laptop back I will be sure to catch up on them all!
Perfect! I've been wanting to make a string quilt but I haven't even started looking into how to make that possible!
Oh week 3 looks really fab! I've wanted to do string blocks for aaaaaages.
Have to say I love love love strings!
Can I cheat and post something I have already done??
a string quilt is on my list of 'try someday' that day might be next week 🙂 lovely blocks too!
Looks good, looking forward to having a go!
Oh goody, I've wanted to make string blocks for ages too. Looking forward to these.
I'm reminded of a song by the Goodies that goes "String, String , String, String , Everybody loves String!!!".
I had no idea what a string block is but after seeing these I'm sold. I gather it's a way of using those skinny pieces left from other projects. Right? I'm still learning the lingo. :^}
When am I going to be able to find the time to join in? Still have my small item for the swap to make and the in-laws are arriving tomorrow and my mum next Wednesday. Great series Katy…and will be joining in when I can find the time!
cannot wait to see your new project, it looks very good
have a wonderful weeekend
hugs

Of course as well as doing this, Katy has been wiring in a new ceiling light with on line support from Blackpool 🙂
I love string quilting – it is so simple and looks so difficult. These fabrics are pretty. xx
String quilts are quickly becoming some of my favorites. Your series is a good bookmark for future reference. Thanks!
FPPFTT, QAL, SHQ QAL… Half the time I don't have a clue what you're talking about 😉 but I like what you make. It's about time I make a qulit. I still have sherbets pips charm pack.
oh i can't wait for this one!!
