So here's where I linked up to say what I was going to do and showed an example of a string quilt that I already did. Then I showed what was completed so far. (not much).
Why did I start this? I went through all of my scraps which were four containers and one large container of orphan blocks. They were taking up so much space in my office that I had to do something. Thus the quilt. It started with using the fabric crumbs to make about 2 meters of fabric but I continued on with the crumbs from my scraps, and the crumbs that appeared from the string quilt. From there, more string blocks (about 18 more) and by then I was fed up of both crumb making as well as strips. While going through all the scraps I also found some orphan blocks. So I decided to add those as well.
In the end I ended up using the QAYG methods, as well as I decided to use my quilting rulers to practise. Overall I had such fun doing this quilt, believe it or not. Here is what it looks like:
It's a queen and it's hard to see what it's finished off with different color binding, and it's attached with black around it. Look at all the pieces. You can't believe it can you.... I can't believe it. Crumble in the middle, strips on each side, and the top row is all the orphan blocks.
