January Block
Recipient - Erin from Missy Mac Creations
Name of Block - string block
Finished Block size - 8" x 8"
Fabric Selection - scraps with a central diagonal of solid white
Tutorial - from Film in the Fridge
Technique - using a paper base with a smaller stitch length. Use paper glue to adhere the central strip to the diagonal. Then use the 'quilt as you go' QAYG method.
Glue down the solid white diagonal and sew the longest strip to it. |
Keep adding strips of various widths until you hit the edge |
Turn over and add strips to the other side |
Trim down to an 8" square |
Add more string blocks and line up the central strip as an 'X' or a square |
They were so easy to make and more than a bit addictive...I had to do more than one. Generously Erin is making this quilt to donate and she was happy to accept any number of blocks in the post. I can't wait to see the finished quilt top.
