I finally have decided on my next big project. I am going to do a string quilt. I had never seen one before until I saw what my teacher, Christie had done.
A string quilt is basically a scrap quilt. You use long strips from 2 1/2" wide down to 1/2". You normally sew them onto a light weight foundation in a diagonal pattern. You can put dashing between the blocks or not. Here is a picture of what I want to do. I am going to do a lap size.

I had bought some fabric a couple of months ago for a different project and then changed my mind. I as my focus fabric. I had to go to WalMart tonight. I found several fabrics that coordinated. It's a beginning.
