Lessons on String Quilts

 Hello Dear Quilt Friends!

Yes I have ziplock backs full of my precise, clean and fresh leftover fabric pieces from maybe pre-Covid days!

So, I'm teaching class at my wellness center,,,, and a good many sewists and quilt folk are donating fabric!!!

What’s a girl like me to do🌺🌺🌺🌺???  Happy dilemma!  

Lessons on String Quilts!

“Strings” are all those leftover fabric strips and pieces that float around everyone’s sewing room. String quilts are simply quilts made from your longer fabric scraps.


To make a string quilt, you start with a foundation fabric or foundation paper, then use an easy sew-and-flip technique to attach strips and scraps to the foundation until the scraps completely cover the foundation.


That’s all there is to it! There’s no fussy measuring, no templates to follow, no precision cutting, no pattern to worry about. The freedom to choose colors and run crooked a bit is my favorite part of making blocks!
