A blue scrappy strings quilt

I started this quilt in March/2025, with four small blocks.  I made a sample, just to see if I liked it and check out the sizing.  I know Bonnie Hunter has a free pattern on her site.  I'll have to look it up to see what she calls it.  I am going with my own size, but otherwise the quilt will basically be the same.

I'm glad I did the four test blocks, as I noted that I prefer a longer, skinnier strip of strings.  I also decided that I didn't like one of the background fabrics that I chose initially.  All the new background fabric is cut out and here is a sample of the four new blocks, together to make up one larger block.

There will be two colours for the background that will alternate throughout the quilt.  I will need to make twenty-four smaller blocks of each background.  The quilt layout will be six blocks across by eight blocks down.  It will look like a lattice.  Between my friend and I, we made enough strips to make 20 blocks and on Sunday I added the background corners to them all.

It may be a while before I get the rest of these blocks done, as I have other things I want to get done first, but it was nice working with blue strings for a change from the red strings....lol.  This blue string quilt is only the first.... I have blue strings overflowing the drawer and need to get them into a quilt.

One at a time.....one at a time....

Take care everyone.
